There's an examination for young people to go to university. I failed it three times. I failed a lot. So I applied to 30 different jobs and got rejected.

I didn't expect NBC would be at all thrilled about me, because the year before the West Wing I had rejected a pilot at the last minute and got them very upset.

Since I am a man, my heart is three or four times less sensitive, because I have three or four times as much power of reason and experience of the world -- a thing which you women call hard-heartedness.
