The more lawyers there are, the more people are out there to encourage others not to go to law school.

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.

I've never really told jokes. I'm not good at it.

One of the most fundamental questions people have about defense attorneys is, 'How can you do that? How can you go to bat everyday for a person that you may not know is guilty but you have a pretty good idea that he's not so innocent?' It's a question that defense attorneys answer for themselves by not addressing.

I think the law changes, which is a nice luxury.

Some of my high school teachers did remind me that I had an excellent imagination when it came to making up excuses.

When I really have to push and grope and scratch and claw to make a story work, that's a telltale sign that maybe something conceptually isn't right.
