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.

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.

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

The way I personally work is I like to write what I know, what I feel, and also where I am.

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

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

It gets harder and harder to succeed and find audiences with the 500-channel universe, the remote control, and people being so trigger happy with that remote control. It just gets harder to get a foothold.
