Quote

And I've been incredibly lucky to have a long career in journalism that has given me a front-row seat to some of the most important moments in modern American political life.

I wrote what I felt I had to write, and I'm willing to put my own sanity and my reputation behind it.

To be able to have the space to sit down and write has always been my central policy.

One of the great joys of being able to write something you can make, if you get certain actors you want and love, you're kind of buying yourself a front row seat to watch them work.

As a writer, I always tend to take the liberty and the great artistic luxury of a composite form of writing.

One thing I like about trying to write is that I can possibly write myself a role. Otherwise, you're at the mercy of whatever roles are out there that people are willing to give to you.

For me, my writing benefits from my experience.

Most things I go through I have to write about.

For any writers at all, read everything you can and then put your butt in the chair and write. That's all there is to it.

I always know what I'm going to write before I sit down.
