Decisions Are Made By Those Who Show Up. Don't Ever Forget That You're A Citizen Of This World.

Toby Zeigler: There's Literally No One In The World I Don't Hate Right Now.

The Monica Lewinsky Scandal Was Happening At The Very Time I Was Writing The West Wing Pilot And It Was Hard, At Least For Americans, To Look At The White House And Think Of Anything But A Punch Line.

I Don't Have Personal Experience And Knowledge About Anything But Theater. I've Been Tutored Very Well On The Subject, But Ultimately I'm Going Back To The Rules Of Drama. There Are Genres That I Like As An Audience Member That I Can't Write As A Writer. I Can't Write Crime, And I Like A Good Thriller As Much As Anybody.

I Grew Up In The Theatre. It's Where I Got My Start. Writing A Television Drama With Theatrical Dialogue About The Theatre Is Beyond Perfection.
