Adventure is important in life. Making memories matters. It doesn’t have to be a secret sea plane and an historic sports moment. But to have a great life, you need great memories. Grab any intriguing offer. Say yes to a challenge, and to the unknown. Be creative in adding drama and scope to your own life. Work at it, like a job. Money from effort comes and goes. But effort from imagination and following adventure creates stories that you keep forever. And anyone can do it.
I have a lot of great memories, but I can't imagine anything more exciting than the life I have now.
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.
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.
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.
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 term 'celebrity memoir' has gotten such a bad name now, but there used to be a little bit of an art form to it.
