But Hbo Is Less Interested In How

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."

It's Certainly Easy For Me To Make A Fictional Character Mad About Something. I Can Get Them Angry About Something That I'm Relatively Indifferent About, Just Because I'm Not Educated On It, If I Go To Someone Who Is Educated About It And Is Passionate About It. I Find A Point Of Fiction And Then Give It To Them.

Writing Anything, It Sorta Starts The Way You'd Build A Castle At The Beach. You're Just Taking Your Hands And You're Mounting Up Sand.

Elite Is Not A Bad Word, It's An Aspirational One.

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