Quote by -Rob Lowe
I love anything by Joan Didion. Incidentally, she was one of the local moms when I was growing up in Point Dume. She always reminded me a little bit of my mother, so I feel a great affinity. I love the precision of Didion's writing. There's a construction and a craftsmanship to her sentences that's imbued with so much emotion.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
For sure, without question, the writing is better on TV pound for pound than movies because the businesses have changed so much. So all the great writers would rather work for TV, and they do.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
I've always been involved in politics, since I was 8 or 9 years old. I sold Kool-Aid for McGovern - I could always pick a winner.

Sampling, statisticians have told us, is a much more effective way of getting a good census.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
Tom Ford, who is my all-time favourite, once said to me, 'Here's the thing about dress shirts, Rob. You need white, and you need black.' 'What about blue,' I asked. He said, 'Have you ever seen Cary Grant in a blue dress shirt?'
Quote by -Rob Lowe
Things that I consider bad qualities, I always try and figure out where they are coming from. I don't consider ambition to be a bad one. It's served me very well in my life. Very well.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
One of the interesting things about Twitter is looking how famous people choose to use it. Take someone like Steve Martin, who I follow: it's all sorts of comic gems, nothing private, nothing personal - all jokes. Other celebrities are overtly personal - like Charlie Sheen. I do a mix of observations and updates.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
My greatest regret at the passing of America-hating strongman Hugo Chavez is that he didn't live long enough to party with Dennis Rodman.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
If you are worried about what people think of you, you should go into politics. Real actors take chances.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
I'm a sportsman, you know, and I shoot skeet, and I grew up in the Midwest, so that's a part of my culture.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
Getting married isn't going to make your relationship better. It's just a ceremony.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
I like doing things that are different, unexpected, and where I feel that either the role feels like a natural fit for me or it's a really big swing that I don't know if I'm going to connect on.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
Sobriety was the greatest gift I ever gave myself. I don't put it on a platform. I don't campaign about it. It's just something that works for me. It enabled me to really connect with another human being - my wife, Sheryl - which I was never able to do before.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
I have had a lot of blessed, interesting things happen to me and have bumped up against some amazing people.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
I've never met a funny person who wasn't smart. I've met a lot of dramatic people who were stupid. But I've never met a funny person who wasn't smart.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
The first private space of my own wasn't a dorm room; it was a hotel room in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
I look at it like this: that if Shakespeare were alive today, he would have written two or three plays about the Kennedy family, and actors would traditionally play JFK like they Hamlet or King Lear. They just would. I mean, people have played JFK, and they'll play him long after I have.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
Being in a successful marriage is no different than being cast in a successful movie. It's all about who you pick; in that first moment, did you pick the right person? I think you need to pick somebody who's more interested in being married than in getting married.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
If I had been on 'Ally McBeal,' I would have been seen coming out of the shower on the first show.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
In comedy you have to be willing to not take yourself seriously, you know? I take comedy really seriously, and so to take comedy seriously, you must not, you cannot, ever take yourself seriously.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
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.'
Quote by -Rob Lowe
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.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
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.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
It's a little bit of a 'if you can't beat 'em - join 'em' mentality for me when I think about Twitter.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
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.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
My dad is an attorney. I've always been interested in it. My sons are probably going to law school.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
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.'
Quote by -Rob Lowe
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.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
Somewhere in my callow, misspent youth, I was smart enough to marry my best friend.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
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.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
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.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
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.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
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.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
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.
Quote by -Rob Lowe
If you're telling a story, and somebody is going to come out badly, it better be you.
