Anybody who doesn't have a scandal I have no interest in meeting because they haven't lived their lives.

Trying to execute that kind of intricate staging in the West Wing at the same time you're doing intricate dialogue - it's like patting your head and rubbing your stomach!

As far as my work for causes or social issues, that's something I'm doing as a private citizen.

I remember Tucker Toomey was named so because "T's are funny!" And if Garry Marshall says it's funny, by god, it must be so.

When I was a teen idol, I was so goddamn pretty I wouldn't have taken myself seriously.

What people do in their private lives is their business, and shouldn't be anybody else's business.

The universe works in mysterious ways and for me it worked out perfectly. With all respect to everybody else, Aaron Sorkin is and was The West Wing, full stop. There's no West Wing without him.
