I don't expect everybody to like me. If you try to please everybody, by changing your position and your personality, every time you do that you lose a little bit of yourself.

I don't really want to have any part of getting guilty people off.

I had always wanted to name a daughter Hailey, after Halley's comet from Once in a Lifetime.

My father was a railroad man his entire life; 43 years for Southern Railroad.

I majored in Shakespearean studies at a very tiny school in Georgia.

I always thought that was one of the single most important things a prosecutor could do is to seek justice for the families of victims.

I'd love to branch out but I have absolutely no interest in romance. I just don't. The thought of trying to write a rom-com ... it just completely skeeves me out. No!
