I don't look back with any bitterness, though there are a couple of judgment calls and some '80s hairdos that I'd like to do over.

There's this unbelievable bias and prejudice against quote-unquote good-looking people, that they can't be in pain or they can't have rough lives or be deep or interesting.

I happen to be a movie star, but I'm not saying, "Hey, I'm a role model. Imitate me."

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

I enjoy experiencing life. Being a celebrity can really stand in the way of that.

The script was given to me by one of my agents and they didn't tell me anything about it. My first reaction was, "The West Wing? Is it about a squadron of fighter jets?" Then I turned the page and saw, 'by Aaron Sorkin' and I knew it was going to be something good.

I think part of maturity is knowing who you are.
