ADD QUOTES
- Rob Lowe: (revealing his children's former nanny was blackmailing him) A former employee is demanding my wife Sheryl and I pay her $1.5 million by the end of the week or she will accuse us both of a vicious laundry list of false terribles. It is an attempt to damage and humiliate not only my wife and me, but our two young sons as well.

- Rob Lowe: (on playing political characters a number of times) I'm starting to feel a bit like Michael Corleone in The Godfather III when he says, "Every time I try to get away, they keep pulling me back in!"
  Edit Share Hide
- Rob Lowe: (on filming his final scenes on "The West Wing") It was very emotional. I had gone through my own grieving process; I'd moved on and done other projects, but the folks still on the show hadn't. I thought I would be more prepared for it than I was when I went back. When (the crew) started phasing out the other actors forever by saying, "That's the last shot for Donna - Janel Moloney, ladies and gentlemen…" and everybody clapped, it was unbelievable - and really, really emotional.
