ADD QUOTES
- Peter: (About his experience from filming "Into Thin Air: Death On Everest") I really enjoyed the experience, but it was serious. On top, I was nauseous and uncomfortable, but when I got down I felt a real sense of satisfaction, a real tangible piece of self knowledge. So maybe I get a little of what climbing is truly all about. But the pain of the experience doesn't make me want to run right out and do it again.

- Peter: (about his work on ABC's drama movie "Into Thin Air: Death on Everest") I think it's worthy of a longer feature film. I'd like to explore the complex interrelations between people, why one person's will to live is stronger than another's, what it means to measure yourself against something tangible, like a mountain, and why people do that.

- Peter (About Ellen Pompeo, the star of Grey's Anatomy): There's something very transparent about Ellen, in an everywoman way.
