We thought we would have a niche audience of loyal viewers like 'X-Files' or 'West Wing.' But we have a huge audience that crosses all kinds of boundaries. It's unique. It's bizarre.

I knew with The West Wing that that wasn't going to be for very long, that I was just the red herring.

Whether it's 'The West Wing' or anything else, my first thought is always, 'What's a good story?'

Oh, my only - if I had one frustration in being on 'West Wing' is I wasn't on it enough, because I was in and out.

I won't miss Grissom. It was a complete life for me that's reached its end, and it's reached it in the right way, I think. So I won't miss Grissom. And I hope that the audience won't miss him either.

I'm an enormous fan of 'The West Wing.' It was one of the very few shows I would watch every week.
