Writing is hard work, but a lot of fun, too. It allows me to live out some of my fantasies.

The main thing is that you have a good editor - one that believes in you and who will give you the feedback that you need to produce a good book.

I am a struggling writer. A middle-aged man with two little kids and I'm just trying to earn a living. So buy this book - or my kids will have to go to foster care.

I think that the mere fact that I'm doing it ought to inspire someone. In junior high school the counselor suggested that I focus on wood shop and metal shop.

In some ways I'm still recovering from the trial. My health is not as good as it ought to be. I've gone back to practicing law and it seems to have taken a toll for whatever reason.

I think that as I continue to write, my writing I hope will become more controversial and more provocative.

The events of the day inspired me to become a lawyer.

I just did something on a show on UPN called "Girlfriends" that will be on television in February. I am actually a much better actor today than I was in 1996, believe it or not.

A lot of the evidence and some of the events you see in LA Justice are loosely based on real-life cases.

I began writing in the 4th grade. As a matter of fact, I produced a play for the entire school. It was about Leif Ericson and the discovery of America.

I'm real bent on dialogue. I'm just a little bit crazy and when you put that along with 20 years as a criminal lawyer, it's pretty easy to come up with some interesting plots.

Every single substitute teacher growing up could not pronounce my name, so whenever someone pauses, I'm like, 'Oh, that's me.'

People have said to me, 'Why don't you change your name?' And I've said, 'Fine, come up with a better name and we'll change it.' But no one has done that.

I've never really told jokes. I'm not good at it.

Well, there were several things. One was that the industry itself built in Detroit was abandoning the city - taking factories elsewhere, the corporate headquarters elsewhere.

My intent is simply to know my material so well that I'm very comfortable with it. Confidence, not perfection, is the goal.

The first woman was created from the rib of a man. She was not made from his head to top him, nor from his feet to be trampled on by him, but out of his side to be equal to him.

Many people do not like the idea that time has a beginning, probably because it smacks of divine intervention.

Information is a beacon, a cudgel, an olive branch, a deterrent--all depending on who wields it and how.

Those yesterdreams were just a cruel and foolish game we used to play, yester-me, yester-you, yesterday.
