By my third year of Law and Order, I was climbing the walls. But you don't leave a hit show, especially when you have a five-year contract.

As soon as I feel people are talking too much about my character, it's time to leave.

I always get involved with the environment because once you go past the tipping point with the environment, you don't get it back.

My garden all is overblown with roses,/ My spirit all is overblown with rhyme.
