I'm Sick Of Girls Who Don't Know

The Thing I Know How To Do Most Is Write A Play. I Came Up Loving Plays And Learning About Plays And Writing Plays. I Actually Feel Like An Outsider When I'm Writing Movies And Television.

I Had Never Thought Of Doing Television. But My Agent Wanted Me To Meet John Wells, Who Had Had A Lot Of Success Producing Er And China Beach. The Night Before The Meeting, Some Friends Were Over For Dinner And Akiva Goldsman And I Slipped Downstairs To The Basement So We Could Sneak A Cigarette. He Said, "you Know What Would Make A Good Television Series? That." And He Was Pointing At The American President Poster. He Said, "there Doesn't Have To Be A Romance, Just Focus On A Senior Staffer."

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'm A Playwright. All I Care About Is The Play Being Good.
