    • Quotes
      [on 'House'] It's always sad, in some ways, when something ends. Whatever this turns out to be - eight years, nine years, ten years - it's been a tremendous experience. It's been way more than I could have possibly imagined. It's been unbelievable. I was extremely lucky, as a writer, to be able to explore this character for one year, never mind eight.
