I have this burgeoning reputation for playing a scumbag.

What can I say: I got started on the whole wife-and-kids thing at a,young age.

I grew up with actors, so I never thought of them as anything but human,- sort of horribly, inextricably human.

I appreciate all the devices the Windows people are coming up with, but,the operating system. . . I just want to smash it.

I know this sounds stupid, but in some ways, the way I look is a,drawback.

I have no illusions of being the big box office draw. But I would like,to have some choices.

I like bothering people and stirring things up.

I have a beautiful wooden Superman statue with a removable cape - I,really love that piece.

I had so much fun on "The Mindy Project" (2012) .

I love getting on the subway because you get on the car, and you see the,entire human race represented in any given subway car.

People are human beings. They talk about stuff, they make mistakes, they,try to impress each other with their tidbits.

The creative tension with spirituality vs. practicality in the world of,politics is a vital conversation.

"Wings" (1990) offered me the rare opportunity to be a full-time,dad and a working actor for eight years.

I had my kids while I was in utero.

For people like me, who have blocked out a chunk of their past, you,wonder - if you open that door, if you walk into that room of your,memories, what will happen? Will it destroy you or will it make you,stronger?,I could have been a rich kid who stayed in college and got by on the,path of least resistance, but I got much more out of being in the world,and pulling my own weight.

I was a little bit of a slob who was sort of surrounded by dirty,laundry. I can trace the exact moment that I became a tidy human being,and that moment was the day my son Sam was born.

I was 9 years old, and this was - well, whenever it was, they paid a,thousand bucks. I thought I was going to be rich forever! But I had no,thought I would be an actor at that point.

I used to build lofts in SoHo back when there was nothing there. I had a,stoop on West Broadway between Prince and Spring. My partner and I,would sit there, eat dinner, and watch the world go by.

There are two jobs. There is being an actor, and there is being a,celebrity. Some people are really good at both. Some people are really,good celebrities and terrible actors, and some people are really good,actors and terrible celebrities. Hopefully, I am a really good actor,and an OK celebrity.

I am friends with Kerry and Bobby Kennedy - and Ethel, who is sort of my,crush . . . my Kennedy crush.

"Wings" (1990) was a blessing, but it was also very difficult.

Whenever you do situation comedy, no matter how excellent the execution,- and we had a great cast and great writers - but the format is,somewhat limited.

On "Madam Secretary" (2014) : I love it - I absolutely love it.

I feel the need to endanger myself every so often.

I love getting on the subway because you get on the car, and you see the entire human race represented in any given subway car.
