I've never met a funny person who wasn't smart. I've met a lot of dramatic people who were stupid. But I've never met a funny person who wasn't smart.
It's funny what actors take issue with. Some won't do parts where animals are in jeopardy; some won't ever play anyone remotely unlikable - 'Heroes only, please.' Some won't do violence. I have no such qualms.
Your interests change. I used to feel that if I spent evenings reading, or watching a film, or just doing nothing up here at the house, I would probably be missing something that was a lot more fun. I don't have that sense anymore.
When I was filming 'The Outsiders,' my idea of success was getting the next Martin Scorsese movie.
Belonging to one party is acceptable. But my days of just ticking the party box are long over. I judge the candidates for who they are.
The president of the United States can't even fire his chef. I'm not kidding.
Fame is not a natural condition for human beings.
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.'
We should all be so lucky in our lives to create things that we're still talking about 25 years later.
Tom called to wish me luck in the play. He said be good - but not too good!
I didn't go to Ivy League schools. I dropped out of college to go into movies.
I'd like to build a TV company for myself.
I don't flip. I don't even dive into a pool - straight cannonball for me. No, thanks.
