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.
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.
[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.
The ’80s were about trying to establish myself as an actor with a career. And being a teenager enjoying the fruits of being successful with lots of what I think is appropriate for that age.
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.
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.
I literally knew nothing when I did that show [“Tony Flanagan”]. It was the first time I signed an autograph, it was the first time I got fan letters, it was the first time people screamed when I came out.
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.
When I had my Comedy Central roast, David [Spade] was my first choice to be roastmaster, because I adore him. He’s funny as hell, and nobody is meaner.
