Things that I consider bad qualities, I always try and figure out where they are coming from. I don't consider ambition to be a bad one. It's served me very well in my life. Very well.
The term 'celebrity memoir' has gotten such a bad name now, but there used to be a little bit of an art form to it.
I've said before that the common perception that all good actors should be good liars is exactly the opposite; only bad actors lie when they act.
I've been around for so long, people have their perceptions of me: good, bad or indifferent.
The minute you start making calculations about what people will think of you as a person based on your work as an actor, you're on the road to becoming a bad one.
What's gratifying about West Wing is that everybody told us that it couldn't be done - that the man or woman on the street didn't care about politics. But if you set things up correctly, people don't have a problem with it.
When I started on 'The West Wing,' that was at a time when this was still a stigma, because movie stars didn't do TV. Now, every movie star is desperate to find their 'True Detective.'
I started out being a really, really liberal Democrat.
I signed up for 'Brothers & Sisters' because I think it's a really great show. I like my character, and I'm really interested in what he has to do every day - and this cast is so spectacular. I really wanted to work with this particular group of people.
I've come to really like Twitter. You really do get to see what I'm about, and I like sharing with my fans.
I've been on TV a long time, and I've never had a catch phrase.
I've been lucky enough in 'The West Wing' and 'Brothers & Sisters' to talk about the issues that are important to me with none of the awful mud-slinging or public scrutiny you have in politics.
Equality for everybody is great. That would be amazing.
Eleven days before 9/11, I was on a plane with the 9/11 hijackers who were carrying out a dry run.
