You can only write, 'Somebody wants something, something else is in their way of getting it.'

I think that if I couldn't write, I would be unemployable.

There are television critics, movie critics, and theater critics too who I like and who I follow and I get genuinely bummed when they don't like something that I've written because I usually agree with them.

Decisions are made by those who show up. Don't ever forget that you're a citizen of this world.

I have a lot of respect for people who are great at ad-libbing, and for writers and directors who are able to create a scene in which that works.

I would love for people to think that I am as quick, clever, smart and heroic as the characters that I write, but those characters are characters.

Government should be a place where people can come together, and no one gets left behind. No one…gets left behind. An instrument of good.
