I'm Sick Of Girls Who Don't Know

Larry David Called Me And Said, "you Can Never Watch The West Wing Again. Either The Show Is Going To Be Great Without You And You're Going To Be Miserable, Or The Show Is Going To Be Less Than Great Without You And You're Going To Be Miserable." So I Had Them Send A Tape Of The First Episode That I Didn't Do. I Put It In The Vcr And I Don't Think I Got 15 Seconds In Before I Leapt Up And Slammed It Off! It Felt Like I Was Watching Somebody Make Out With My Girlfriend. I've Never Seen A West Wing Episode In Seasons Five, Six Or Seven.

To Use A Basketball Metaphor, West Wing Cast Was A Group That Liked To Pass As Much As They Liked To Shoot.

It's Populated By People Who, By And Large, Have Terrific Communication Skills. Every Day Is An Extraordinary Day. For Me, It Was Just A Great Area For Storytelling.

My Resting Pulse As A Writer Is Writing Idealistically And Romantically; Aspirationally. My Taste Lies In Quixotic Heroes.

I Don't Think I Write Differently When I'm Writing A Screenplay, As Opposed To A Stage Play Or A Teleplay. Maybe If I Were In A Film Class And There Was Time To Think About It, We Could Point Out Differences.
