No one should feel sorry for a successful screenwriter.

I have written a bunch of scripts that have not gotten produced, much more so early in my career than later.

But what I didn't recognize when I was much younger was this sort of...when you're on, when you're really on, go at it.

I think what I've recognized over the years is that I'm very, very bingey, extremely bingey when it comes to writing.

Everyone I know who used to be in the intelligence community is moving into the corporate world.

A reversal is just anything that's a surprise. It's a way of keeping the audience interested.

If you think about it, episodic filmmaking has not been something that people have really done.
