~ Laura Innes Quote
In each scene, actors and directors try to find an unexpected moment or subtext that's not obvious in the writing.
~ Laura Innes Quote
Viewers can put themselves in the shoes of every character. They can imagine themselves as a doctor or a patient or a relative. Every episode hinges on a life-or-death situation. The moment people walk into a hospital, their lives are often altered for ever. Medical drama is like Greek tragedy—it's a very basic story about blood and tears and heroes and humanity. All human life is there—in all its glory and all its horror. (Radio Times; March 2–8, 2002)
~ Laura Innes Quote
The thing with Kerry is that all of this is a natural progression, her troubles. It's a cycle.
~ Laura Innes Quote
We've been back since July, but I spent some time with the family in the south of France over the summer. We rented a house with another couple and took it easy.
~ Laura Innes Quote
I have a friend who is around my age, a little younger, and she's gay and came out to her own community when she was younger but not to her family and to the community at large.

~ Laura Innes Quote
But Elizabeth Mitchell - the actress who played Kerry's lover, Dr. Legaspi - won't be returning this season.
~ Laura Innes Quote
I'm straight and I have a lot of gay friends.
~ Laura Innes Quote
It gives me the biggest buzz. The crass way of putting it is to say that it gives you complete control, but beyond that it's extremely creative. You're creating something from scratch but you're not alone, you're a part of a community. When it's working well, you feel like a great parent, trying to bring out the best in everybody. But it's hard work—nothing worth while is easy. (Radio Times; March 2–8, 2002)
~ Laura Innes Quote
And it's sort of an old-fashioned ER, in that it's very much about the medicine, and how these people cope. There's very little about the personal lives of the characters.
~ Laura Innes Quote
But I'm not objective when I'm acting.
~ Laura Innes Quote
It was sort of that in-between area when people don't talk about their personal lives. That's the kind of life I think Kerry would be living now if it weren't for the Lopez character sort of outing her.
