I wouldn’t go back on my old days, though; everybody needs to have their wild years. It’s just a question of when and I’d rather have had them early than be doing it as a mid-life crisis type thing. – 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. – Rob Lowe
As an actor and a fledgling director, I’m used to making snap decisions that I’ll have to live with. – Rob Lowe
When I was filming ‘The Outsiders,’ my idea of success was getting the next Martin Scorsese movie. – 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.’ – 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. – 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. – Rob Lowe
Like most guys, I don’t come to beauty regimes naturally. I’m dragged kicking and screaming by the best in the world. – 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. – 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. – 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. – 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?’ – Rob Lowe
I had had some successes in the ’90s, always made money, but the truth was I was like a man pushing a boulder up a hill. A huge, heavy, difficult boulder made up of some career mistakes, projects that didn’t meet expectations, and twenty years of being a known quantity. – Rob Lowe
Cannes is a little bit like French wine. There are certain years that people prefer over others. – Rob Lowe
My thing is personal freedoms: freedoms for the individual to love whom they want, do with what they want. In fact, I want the government out of almost everything. – Rob Lowe
My hopes and aspirations haven’t changed since I started in this business. They’ve been to be able to play drama, to be able to play comedy, to be able to play leading men, and to be able to play character roles. I have no other aspirations in this regard. – 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. – 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. – Rob Lowe
The minute you start making calculations about what people will think of you as a person based on your work as an actor, you’re on the road to becoming a bad one. – Rob Lowe
Show me someone who doesn’t have some sort of experience that they would be uncomfortable for people to know about and I’ll show you a dullard. – Rob Lowe
