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

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

I studied voice for about two years with an amazing coach, and I never rose above the level of mediocre.

I don't see myself directing things I don't write because, to me, directing was just an extension of the writing process.

Usually if a scene's really hard to write, I just don't write it. Nothing's coming to mind.

I have absolutely no musical talent of my own!

I think there are a lot more writers who are actors than you know; they just don't have roles on famous TV shows that you recognize.
