I Think My Thing Is That I

I Have Such Amazing Memories [about The Hotel New Hampshire Movie], Because Tony Richardson Was Such An Amazing Director, And The Subject Matter Was So Bizarre, And Yet It Was The Most Sought-after Part At That Moment. And Then It Had The Good Fortune To Come Out On The Same Day As Splash.

You Show Me Someone Who's Led A Perfect Life And I'll Show You A Dullard.

So I Came To The Realization: Nothing In Life Is Unfair. It's Just Life.

Actually, If I Had To Do It Over [leaving The Show The West Wing], I'd Do The Same Thing, Because Lost In The Shuffle Of It Is That Aaron [sorkin] Left The Same Year I Did. And I Would Not Have Wanted To Be On The West Wing With Somebody Else Writing It.

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.
