This whole crew loves each other... They have so many guest stars, that you're so immediately welcomed into their fold. Because you don't know; You could be there for years! So it's just an unbelievable show. It's an unbelievable experience. And I've done things on that show that in 20 years of being an actress, I have never done in my career."
