Chemistry is not anything an executive producer or writer can orchestrate or plan; you just hope for it.

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

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 the stories come easily and the writing process doesn't feel laboring, that's usually a good sign for me.

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.

We also have issue oriented storylines which are an examination of an issue, be it ethical or social.

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.
