I love anything by Joan Didion. Incidentally, she was one of the local moms when I was growing up in Point Dume. She always reminded me a little bit of my mother, so I feel a great affinity. I love the precision of Didion's writing. There's a construction and a craftsmanship to her sentences that's imbued with so much emotion.
Matthew Lowe is one of the great water men that I know. He's a surfer, a great water polo player. I think he's half fish.
Marriage is becoming sort of fake. It's almost like a handbag. Everybody wants the newest, greatest and latest. It becomes an event, and it's definitely a status symbol in our society. I'm not saying it shouldn't be; it absolutely should be - but you shouldn't be focusing on that.
He's got instincts, great instincts, and he loves talent.
Equality for everybody is great. That would be amazing.
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.
For sure, without question, the writing is better on TV pound for pound than movies because the businesses have changed so much. So all the great writers would rather work for TV, and they do.
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.
