I'm Not Going To Stop Talking To

[chris] Farley Was A Dear Friend, And We Remained Close Right Up Until The End. You Know, There Was Nobody More Fearless Comedically Than Chris. And That's Saying A Lot, Because I'm Friendly With A Lot Of Funny People.

I Went From Doing Something That Was Very Original, Sort Of Subversive, And Specific In Its Voice - The Grinder - And Loved Every Minute Of It, But Having Done That, I Was Anxious To Do Something That Had More Broad Appeal And To Embrace The Good Things About That.

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.

Some Of The '80s Movies I Did Are Sort Of Museum Pieces. St. Elmo's Fire Is Great As A Sort Of Kitschy, "oh, My God, I Can't Believe We Wore That" Type Of Movie.

You Would Not Believe The Amount Of Feedback I've Gotten Over People Binge-watching The West Wing. Most Of Them Have Binge-watched It Countless Times.
