I think we'll be gone by Christmas, ... The West Wing.
We are five people who enjoy each other's company and we are all grown ups, ... That is the curious thing about us. There is not like, 'Here are the little kids, the teenagers and the adults.' I am not saying we are all one generation but, basically, we are five adults in New York and we are all single.
I sort of said to myself, 'You know, this is clearly what is the next hand I am playing in my career,'
It has to come from the heart. But it was nice when she accused me of being too much like her.
I never really thought of that. I just thought she was funny. Really, I just thought this was funny, sort of sweet, touching and human.
You work in the ER, dear. People die there. You really want that hair to be the last thing they see?
I have no idea if world peace is attainable. But aiming for it is.
You're talking to someone who has been married to various people for the last 40 years of her life. dating is not really something familiar. I've never really been a dater.
I think that's the phenomenon of our time is that a lot of women keep themselves in good shape but that there's not a lot of accommodation or people out there to connect with and the technology.
Casting can be heartbreaking. Dealing with the disappointment is the hardest part.
I lead a very boring, normal life.
I want to go working with good people on something that's good, because otherwise it's a big waste of time. I don't have that much time.
I'm kind of spoiled, but the great thing about life is that you never know what's around the corner.
You don't want to play a character you can't inhabit or commit to fully.
