My Family Had All Kinds Of Complications

People Relate To Things That Feel Real To Them. All The Good, Happy, Over-sexed And Moneyed Endings On Tv Are Not The Way Most Of Us Feel In Our Lives. The Success Of 'e.r.,' I Think, Is Not Relying On Overly Sentimental Stories That Are Solved Where People's Lives Wrap Up Nicely With Happy Endings.

To Think One Film Makes A Career Is Ridiculous. It's Important To Keep Perspective And Do Things Other Than For Money.

'er' Was So Huge That Whatever I Did Coming Back To Television, I'd Have To Feel As Strongly About.

I Was Always Enjoying The Moment. Acting, Writing, Looking For Roles And Getting Involved With People And Trying To Create Something That Would Be Entertaining To People. With 'e.r.,' We Were All Very Lucky To Get This Combination Of People Together In The Right Story In The Right Way To Take It To The Level It Has Reached.
