I've found that sitting around and obsessing about projects moving forward, when there's actually nothing I can do about it, at a certain point, is really counter-productive.

I really want my career to be as an actor-writer-director-producer, you know? I don't know what will be stronger than the other.

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.

The exciting thing about today with the Internet, streaming, and YouTube, is you can just go do it. You can go make a short and put it up, and it, very well, may be seen. You can create your own Internet series and just put it out there. It wasn't like that when I was in my 20s. People weren't doing this sort of thing - now they can and they should try it.

I wouldn't say I'm a political junkie. I follow it. I read a few articles every day.

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