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

I never thought of myself as a writer.

When the stories come easily and the writing process doesn't feel laboring, that's usually a good sign for me.

One of the most fundamental questions people have about defense attorneys is, 'How can you do that? How can you go to bat everyday for a person that you may not know is guilty but you have a pretty good idea that he's not so innocent?' It's a question that defense attorneys answer for themselves by not addressing.

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.

But I do believe that in all my shows, I really enjoy the quirky, the eccentric characters, the ones you don't meet every day.
