It turns out that good actors can make anything believable.

The radical rightwing pegs Hollywood as a leftist town, which is completely wrong. There are a lot of actors, writers, and directors who talk a liberal agenda... but all the studio bosses, for as long as there have been studios, have all been as far rightwing as you can possibly imagine.

United States could be a great country. It needs to be a great country. It's our responsibility as citizens to make that happen, every single one of us.

I’m a deeply broken person, and broken institutions fascinate me.

Usually the characters are where I start. Then I continually ask myself, 'What's the worst thing that could happen to this character?'

I try not to think of actors as I'm writing because I think you do them a disservice by writing for things they've already done.

The stereotypes we pretend that we reject are ingrained in our DNA.
