'ER' was so huge that whatever I did coming back to television, I'd have to feel as strongly about.

The painful part of being a new writer on 'ER' is that you come on with all these great ideas, and you find out we've already done them.

I got cast on ER, I knew I'd be playing a great character and I knew the show was great.

Sometimes, I think I may be more recognizable because I'm character-looking.

I thought 'ER' was a really good script, but I didn't have any inkling that it would become the phenomenon that it did, and I don't think anybody did back then.

It's because of 'ER' that I've gotten the opportunity to get the work.

I've gradually grown more comfortable with who I am and what I am.

Mostly, nothing's really changed. I'm still the dorky nerd that I always was.

We try our hardest to be original, but the truth is, in a real ER, you get similar kinds of cases over time. We try to embrace the distinctions of different characters going through similar storylines.

I would like to think that I'm more different from my character than I am.
