Sarah Chalke Quotations

I was 17 and the whole thing was very confusing at the time. It was a great job and I loved it, and to lose the role was definitely tough for me. I was devastated when I lost the role.

Walking into a show when I was 16, at that time when it was the No. 1 hit show, and replacing a character comes with so many expectations. I felt a lot of pressure with that.

We have such a good time working together. It makes such a difference going to work every day for 14 hours and being able to hang out and have a good time.

I think it's because it's so different and it takes risks. Plus, it's really smart humor. It gives the audience credit in terms of not needing to tell them when to laugh. I love that about the show. There's no laugh track.

I don't think when people sign up for a life of doing something they love to do they should have to sign up for a complete loss of privacy. I understand a little loss of privacy coming with the job.

It was really cool going to Sea World. We had an amazing time. They were amazing to us. We got to swim with the dolphins, and it was really special.

Your home should be your home. People shouldn't be allowed to use whatever crazy lenses they use to catch you waking up in the morning.

In fact, if they didn't let me commute, I would not have taken the role because I wanted to graduate high school with my classmates. I remember my agent's jaw dropping when I told him if I couldn't commute I didn't want the role.

Human beings are not meant to lose their anonymity and privacy.

I would be sad if it ended now. It's been the best job I've had by a long shot, especially creatively because the writing is so good. Every week I get the script and I laugh out loud and get excited for the different stuff we get to do.

I don't smoke, I try to eat right, and I love doing yoga and going for hikes with my dog.

I lived in Vancouver, where they film so many things. So it gave me a good shot at it.

I love acting, and it was really important to me to give it a real shot.

I've slowly gone back, later on in life, to fish and then chicken and then, last year, red meat.

I think that we had a really loyal, great audience on Tuesdays and we were hoping that with the move, they would come with us. It looks like they have, so things are good and we are going to keep building.

I think that as is true in this industry, everything gets blown out of proportion because it's more fun for people to read about. It's even more fun to read about if the stories get wilder and wilder.

So the first season about halfway through he just sort of put us together and then broke us up all within one episode. One of the ideas is to have us do that once a year - to have everything blow up in our faces and not work out.

But to be part of helping create a character and be a part of something from the beginning - the excitement of it - it doesn't get any better.

I would like to think that Im more different from my character than I am.

Roseanne was incredible to work with. She was extremely bright.

What doctor does not need platform heels and dark black eyeliner to treat their patients?

I'm having the time of my life. I've never looked forward to going to work so much every day. I'm loving it; it's great. It's what I love to do and I wouldn't want to be doing anything else.

Well, we film it on the site of what used to be a real hospital for 30 years. So many people continue to think it's still functional.

But I was working with such a great group of people. I just felt so safe up there on stage with them. But the first night I was definitely nervous.

It's never boring - you get to do the crazy fantasy scenes and the second you think you know your character, they throw you a curveball.

The first time I lived in L.A. I was too young. I really wanted to be back home in Vancouver.

People don't always recognize how serious it can be, that there can be some serious complications from the flu and even death. People believe they'll be down for a few days and then be fine, and that's just not the case.

I am a huge believer in the flu vaccine. I have had it every year and have never had the flu.
