We are five people who enjoy each other's company and we are all grown ups, ... That is the curious thing about us. There is not like, 'Here are the little kids, the teenagers and the adults.' I am not saying we are all one generation but, basically, we are five adults in New York and we are all single.
I sort of said to myself, 'You know, this is clearly what is the next hand I am playing in my career,'
It's funny, I had dinner with my dear friend John Spencer last night and I'm not in the first episode, but he's at the beginning of it and he was telling me about it and I thought this sounds very hot because I think this is definitely the last year of West Wing.
These things have a life of there own and never existed when I was growing up certainly worrying when one would get made. It's kind of amazing how that one movie kept living through all these years.
Well, I mean she's of a certain biological age but she didn't have to go around with fat patches and stuff.
I couldn't do it at all. I was never really good at it, but I can't imagine what it can be like as a fortunate person not having to deal with it. I mean, people of all ages, not just my age, 25, 35, all the way down the line.
I think the end of last year when we were aware of that transition was for everyone in their own way kind of bittersweet, but it's also what the show's about, one administration ends and another begins.
I think we'll be gone by Christmas, ... The West Wing.
It has to come from the heart. But it was nice when she accused me of being too much like her.
I never really thought of that. I just thought she was funny. Really, I just thought this was funny, sort of sweet, touching and human.
You work in the ER, dear. People die there. You really want that hair to be the last thing they see?
I have no idea if world peace is attainable. But aiming for it is.
You're talking to someone who has been married to various people for the last 40 years of her life. dating is not really something familiar. I've never really been a dater.
It would be interesting if this sitcom works, so I could be doing one thing all the time instead of going back and forth between all this different media which I sort of thrive on, I'm a bit of a moving target in that way.
