I have this identity for myself as a writer and the only thing that can happen is that I chip away from it.

What you'll gain is the macro story. You'll get a good command of that. And what you might lose is some of the fun of it.

They say to just write about what's happening in your backyard because that's where you find the most creativity. It's in the DNA of the show. There's no question.

I joked recently that I thought 30 seconds a day for three years would be the best way to enjoy it, and I'm going to stand by that statement.

Violence has not really been an issue. Even in my wildest hopes, I wasn't trying to get violence in.

I'm not saying I want a film career because I think I'm too good for television. I'm simply saying I want more control over my life.

My spirit life is also the medium in which I live. It's not something that comes and goes. Without one the other wouldn't exist.

You will not believe me, but I am proud of your strength. Sometimes. . . sometimes the only way I can care for my children is to keep my distance.

Nothing is so false as human life, nothing so treacherous. God knows no one would have accepted it as a gift, if it had not been given without our knowledge.
