My deep dark secret is that I was a nerd in school. I liked the theater. I liked to study. I wasn't very good at sports.
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.
Tom called to wish me luck in the play. He said be good - but not too good!
There was a period in my life where I went out a lot and I had a really good time. But that period is over.
There is good and evil in each of us, and you can easily be led to the dark side.
I have never felt at any point in my life, good or bad, any ill will ever from the man or woman on the street.
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.
