Real listening is a willingness to let the other person change you.

I've been nominated twice before as actor in a leading part. Now I'm nominated as actor in a supporting part. If I don't win, I'll just wait until I'm nominated for being in the theater during the show. Do they have one like that?

Working on The West Wing was similar in many ways to my experience on M*A*S*H, because you had people willing to work late at night to get it just right.

And I think belief is one of those things that comes to people in their own way. And just because I believe in something doesn't mean I think that you should.

I've been lucky enough to live through all the things that are supposed to give meaning to our lives, like parenting, grandparenting, art, celebrity. All these things you expect meaning to come from, and sometimes it comes when you're not expecting it.

I found I wasn't asking good enough questions because I assumed I knew something.

Real listening is a willingness to let the other person change you.
