'Law & Order' was amazing but so consuming, I couldn't get to the stage.

I think people enjoyed LA Law so much, because it was the first show that delved into current events through the prism of the law.

I grew up in D.C. but always had a love affair with New York. I did 'Central Park West,' 'Sex and the City,' 'Law & Order.'

I wasn't so sure about signing up for 'Law & Order.' I liked the show, but another TV series? I'll tell you, though, it's been great, and I had no idea how popular the show was.

I was supposed to go to drama school and then go to New York and do theatre. But I grew up on all those fabulous movies and had read all the bold Hollywood books, and I thought I just had to take a look.

I saw 'Six Degrees of Separation' because my brother was in it. It was a watershed experience. It was theatrical and scary, and New York functioned like a character. John Guare became a hero for me.

I loved New York. I made enough money and studied acting with Kenneth McMillan, which was my first formal training.

I grew up in Chicago, but when I was 12, I came to New York because I was doing an episode of 'Law & Order.'
