Patricia: (on what sets Brothers & Sisters apart) I think you'll be able to recognize your families and your issues, and not just watch it as a fantasy show. Fantasy shows are great — I'm not knocking them — but for my other appetite, I like to find myself.
(edit) Patricia: (on bringing work home) I know that when we did Thirtysomething it was very hard for us to leave it at work. We were so in the middle of that show. But Brothers & Sisters is new, so we'll see where it ends up going. Hopefully, you can bring it home to a certain extent and then that's enough; it's back to our lives. (edit) Patricia: (on viewer's reaction to her role on Brothers and Sisters) People come up to me and say, "Oh, I wanted to hate your character! You're the evil woman, the nemesis.... But last week you said something that made me want to like you." (edit)
