I was alone a lot as a kid, because my parents were divorced.

I read an interview with Aaron Sorkin and he said he plays every part when he's writing. I thought, "Oh, I do that too! I'm doing okay."

I have absolutely no musical talent of my own!

To have a show have lawyers fighting civil rights cases week in and week out, I think it's exactly what we need.

Everything I've written up to now, hasn't had anything to do with my life really.

I'm very political. Because I read politics every day, so I'm familiar with the world. I approach the films is I'm trying to write what is true, so that supersedes partisan spin, in my opinion. I find partisanship is a thing for cable news and newspaper articles, but it's not interesting for art. I think we all believe what we believe, and I don't think a film is going to change someone's mind.
