Decisions Are Made By Those Who Show

I Wrote The Show West Wing For The Two Years Before And The Two Years After 9/11. Suddenly Everyone In The World Had Been Through Something That Our Characters Had Not Been Through; The Whole Trajectory Of The World Had Changed. Yet Our Show Took Place In A Parallel Universe. I Wasn't Really Sure What To Do About This. In No One's Wildest Dreams Did It Occur That An Event Like This Could Possibly Happen.

I'll Get Cast Occasionally As Sort Of The Jerk Version Of Myself, And I Have Fun Doing That. But It's Really Better For Everyone If I Stay Behind The Camera.

I Don't Want To Analyze Myself Or Anything, But I Think, In Fact I Know This To Be True, That I Enter The World Through What I Write. I Grew Up Believing, And Continue To Believe, That I Am A Screw-up, That Growing Up With My Family And Friends, I Had Nothing To Offer In Any Conversation. But When I Started Writing, Suddenly There Was Something That I Brought To The Party That Was At A High-enough Level.

I Want To Convey That I'm Crazy About The Kardashians - But I'm Not Sure Which Is Which.
