By making more people aware of lymphoma, Worldwide Lymphoma Awareness Day hopes to save lives by increasing early diagnosis and suitable treatment.

I try to be authentically who I am.

I have, on the other hand, felt ill will from various people in the industry and the press.

Directors are not worried about casting beautiful women, but they are not sure that they want to cast great-looking men. My looks have prevented people from seeing my work.

The term 'celebrity memoir' has gotten such a bad name now, but there used to be a little bit of an art form to it.

If you're telling a story, and somebody is going to come out badly, it better be you.

I had long ago become a creation, a public image made to be consumed, piled on top of a precarious shell of a little boy wanting to be loved.

I couldn't have gotten sober without rehab because I needed the science.

Temperamentally, Sam and I are very much alike. He's a lawyer, my father's a lawyer, and I always wanted to play one. On so many levels the role just felt right. I fell in love with it as I would a woman.

To go from playing Jack Startz in 'Behind the Candelabra' to playing JFK in the same year, I have now operated at the far ends of my range as an actor.

Belonging to one party is acceptable. But my days of just ticking the party box are long over. I judge the candidates for who they are.

I've said before that the common perception that all good actors should be good liars is exactly the opposite; only bad actors lie when they act.

Somewhere in my callow, misspent youth, I was smart enough to marry my best friend.

I have other obligations now - the show, my family, my life... though I know that without my sobriety I wouldn't have any of those things.

When I started on 'The West Wing,' that was at a time when this was still a stigma, because movie stars didn't do TV. Now, every movie star is desperate to find their 'True Detective.'

My dad is an attorney. I've always been interested in it. My sons are probably going to law school.

If you treat China like a foe, surely she will become one.

I'm a true centrist: my beliefs put me in the middle... You know what happens to people who drive in the middle of the road? They get run over.

It's a little bit of a 'if you can't beat 'em - join 'em' mentality for me when I think about Twitter.

I started out being a really, really liberal Democrat.

My roles in comedies from 'Austin Powers' to 'Tommy Boy' to 'Wayne's World,' were sort of comedic 'straight man' parts. My character on 'Parks & Recreation' is the comic relief in a comedy. To play a character that appears strictly for laughs is sort of new for me and really fun.

Oh my God, I love rehab! I highly recommend it.

I wish I was a more religious person. I really admire Martin Sheen for his Catholicism. It's such a bedrock. I wish I had that in my life.

I never get bored talking about themes dealing with ambition, leadership and what it means to be an American. I love that stuff. I just love it. I've loved it ever since I was on 'The West Wing.'
