I never thought of myself as a writer.

If you interview people or friends who work with me, they would say I'm private or internal or don't emote a lot. Yet I do it every day for 10 million people. I just don't do it for the 30 people I'm in the room with.

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

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.

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

In retrospect, I think it's a plus, because now we've been able to go back and spend extra time on each of those episodes and make them better.

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.
