[The Outsiders] was all new to me. It’s been fun to be a part of that ride, where it’s become on the level of Catcher In The Rye in terms of people’s required reading in schools.

I think [The Outsiders] really forged who I am as an actor, and it’s one of the reasons why I keep being drawn to big ensembles where I’m surrounded by strong, successful actors or personalities. Because that was my initial foray into movie making.

Helmut Newton shot the ad campaign [for Bad Influence]. It’s [James] Spader at the top of his game, right after Sex, Lies And Videotape. It’s sexy. It’s weird. It’s dark. The characters are great.

Ginnifer Goodwin said it very well – we’re not doing the Hall Of Presidents at Disneyland. This is my interpretation of [J.F] Kennedy.

Your interests change. I used to feel that if I spent evenings reading, or watching a film, or just doing nothing up here at the house, I would probably be missing something that was a lot more fun. I don’t have that sense anymore.

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.
