If you’re going to the theater and the actor does not have a ‘Law & Order’ credit on the Playbill, it means he’s just got off the bus [to New York], or is really a bad actor.

I’ve never understood the obsession with younger writers and dramas. Comedies I understand, but how do you write drama at 23; you haven’t experienced anything. You know about 23-year-olds. It’s kind of hard to write about 60 year old EADAs [Executive Assistant District Attorneys]. Only a couple of us are 60 years old so far, but there are not many 23-year-olds who can write about life-changing situations unless it’s medical. That sounds weird, but there’s not the mileage on the odometer to get under the surface. There are exceptions that prove the rule-Dickens wasn’t bad at 23.
