The umbrella that I live under is that you must be truthful with everyone except when to do so would injure them or others.

Being Everyone Truthful Umbrella
Apparently Sodapop Curtis said “gnarly,” and Chris Traeger said “literally.” Every decade I have a favorite phrase I can’t stop with.

Gnarly Phrases Said Stop
The universe works in mysterious ways and for me it worked out perfectly. With all respect to everybody else, Aaron Sorkin is and was The West Wing, full stop. There’s no West Wing without him.

Chris [Farley] – I would consider him a comic animal. With the emphasis on “animal.”

Animal Comic Emphasis
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.

Imagine Leaving Regret
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.

It was a role [Dean Sanderson] I hadn’t seen before, and yet it was very accessible and relatable at the same time. I read scripts that have one or the other, but I rarely read scripts that have both. And it was laugh-out-loud funny.

Laughing Roles Scripts
Ridley Scott’s company makes great work in whatever arena, whether it’s movies or commercials or television. They just do really quality stuff, so you know it’s going to be quality.

I’ll be a role model on my terms, but don’t make a role model on your terms.

Make Models Roles Terms
I had to learn American sign language. And I did stuff in it, stuff that was just for me and was fun, that I don’t think anyone would ever notice.
ROB LOWE

Fun Sign Language Thinking
If people are attracted to me, I like to think it’s because I’m an interesting person, fairly smart, well-rounded, with a good sense of humor. I would like to think that’s what I am. I would like to think people see it.
ROB LOWE

People Smart Thinking
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.
