    • Laura Innes: (describing directing) 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: (on why she believes medical dramas are so popular) 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)
