We all have a suspicion and hope that we've just been part of something special, something that may eventually change our lives. That no one else knows this makes it seem like we are living with a secret that we would like to share, but can't, sort of like having a superpower that's not come online or being president elect. For the moment, our lives proceed as usual, but within a month, we think, everything will change. It's a frustrating, if exciting, disconnect.

Everybody is God. Everybody is the devil. And if you don't realize you have both parts, that's what really causes problems.

I have other obligations now - the show, my family, my life... though I know that without my sobriety I wouldn't have any of those things.

It was sort of the first movie [The Specials ] where I really got to let my comedy freak flag fly. And everybody in it made me laugh really hard. I wish more people had seen it.

In the business of acting, those are the actors that make the trains run on time, you know? There's nothing without them.

The West Wing and The Outsiders are the gifts that keep on giving.

I had no regrets when I did it, I have even less regret now because I can't imagine staying on the West Wing show and then, six weeks later, Aaron Sorkin leaving.
