Better not, Ben. You better not! Unless Justin writes it in Italian. Then that’s just practice!

My writing secret? PANIC. Sheer panic. I just let the panic build until my skin crawls with anxiety and the script shoots out of my fingers like lightning.

Addressing climate change is not a “pass/fail” scenario. It is a process of mitigating severity that will happen in our lifetimes.

Saying “it’s over, do whatever you want” is both foolhardy and literally incorrect.

We can always make a difference — and will continue to do so.

I didn’t want to say “every other sentence” but we know that’s more real

A major part of writing is the “fiddle farting on the internet between scenes” part

Oof. Too real. Happened to me in a JOB INTERVIEW. And I couldn’t very well throw my former boss under the bus but I sure did argue against the issue every day in the room!!

RIP Val Kilmer. Madmartigan was one of the first characters I truly fell in love with as a little kid, the kind of roguish hero you wish would find his way into your own life. In the words of Willow, “You are great!!!”

Matlock is the spiritual successor to Suits. It’s got the same feel and similar in-world stakes with different personal stakes. I’m really really loving it!
