I write in longhand on yellow legal pads.
I didn’t have a lot of great jobs. I was a third-shift legal proofreader. I did office work for people where a friend might say, ‘Hey, we need someone,’ in his office, and then I will have a month or two weeks or whatever somewhere. I was – I taught fiction workshops.

Every name in a TV show has to be run by the legal department first.
