I Was Not Familiar With The Book

You Can't Believe Everything You Read. It's Never Been More True.

I Think It Was Alfred Hitchcock Who Said 90 Percent Of Successful Moviemaking Is In The Casting. The Same Is True In Life. Who You Are Exposed To, Who You Choose To Surround Yourself With, Is A Unique Variable In All Of Our Experiences And It Is Hugely Important In Making Us Who We Are. Seek Out Interesting Characters, Tough Adversaries And Strong Mentors And Your Life Can Be Rich, Textured, Highly Entertaining And Successful, Like A Best Picture Winner. Surround Yourself With Dullards, People Of Vanilla Safety And Unextraordinary Ease, And You May Find Your Life Going Straight To Dvd.

I Think I Have A Pretty Good Ear. I Mean, Even Just Starting With, Like, Austin Powers, Where I Did Young Robert Wagner. People Were, Like, "how Do You Imitate Robert Wagner? What Does He Sound Like? What Does That Even Involve?".

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.
