I do realise how incredibly lucky I am.

To go to the White House is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In fact, the building is not that big.

I always try to look for the best in most places.

Certain stories that you want to see resolve in certain ways are, and some aren't, but that's life.

It's never happened to me before, in my career, and never will again. It's a one-off experience. It's a rare treat to have a cast together for six years. Crews come and go, and a few of them have been there throughout, but not many. It's rare, in my experience, after 26 years, to have had a proper company in a show that enjoys each other's company, and who is such a fine bunch of people and actors. To have struck a chord with people, and to have had that combination, is extremely rare.

I think any film that asks its audience a degree of tolerance and acceptance of those less fortunate than themselves isn't a bad thing from whatever culture you're in or from whatever part of any political spectrum.
