It's a lot easier to do good work when you have good words to say and work with good people.

I think if you get asked to do this, then that's called doing your homework, and I try and do it.

People think what you are doing is real, on a TV show.

I like this job - most days I have a chance to make breakfast and take the kids to school or to read 'em a bedtime story. It's almost like a normal life.

At Chicago Hope they have a technical staff that works real hard to make that O.R. as realistic as possible.

I'm in the business to push it. I'm not likely to be attracted to characters I've already done.

I'm just beginning to direct. For all intents and purposes, this is the first time for me.

I'm thankful to get the opportunity to direct. I hope I don't mess it up.

Some people say it's scarier to direct the people you work with; not me, I'm a team guy.

St. Elsewhere was certainly a great show.

How many times have you been on the freeway and had someone fly by you at 100 mph then end up two cars ahead of you at the off ramp? What's the point?
