I don't think I could write a straight drama.

I don't think it's that strange that a show has sort of a bumpy beginning. It's just part and parcel of the process.

When you create a show, and create characters, these people are like children to you.

I don't think I could write a straight drama.

I never thought of myself as a writer.

I gravitate toward the law, I think, certainly more times than not, because it's our best mechanism for legislating human behavior, and morality, and ethics.

But I do believe that in all my shows, I really enjoy the quirky, the eccentric characters, the ones you don't meet every day.
