In violent streets and broken homes, the cry of anguished souls is not for more laws but for more conscience and character.

I think that (my character) President David Palmer was the voice of conscience on that series, and it was a mistake to take that voice away. Of course, as an actor, I'm happy that I can now work with Mamet.

The difference between the more traditional sports clubs and Congress is that Congress doesn't really compete against another team.

Character is doing what you don't want to do but know you should do.

Where there are laws, he who has not broken them need not tremble.

No, I'm not anguished and tormented.
