People have said I can come off a little trial-lawyerish. I tell people I never actually became a lawyer, but I play one at City Hall.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I played a lawyer in a movie, so, many times I think I am a lawyer. And clearly I'm not a lawyer, because I got arrested.
I really honestly can't see myself as a lawyer. It's pretty much safe to say I'll never become one.
And I've always felt comfortable certainly in a courtroom because you're just performing. And there was a time in my life when I thought when I grew up I'd be a trial lawyer myself.
Being a trial lawyer sounds like glamorous work, but most of your time is spent pushing paper and arguing.
It's fine to get paid and get a big verdict, but to go out and represent people, sometimes in unglamorous ways, is really what lawyering is all about.
I was a trial lawyer when I was elected to Congress.
As for lawyers, it's more fun to play one than to be one.
No one's calling me for lawyer roles. I still have a lot to do to prove myself.
Nobody wants to be a lawyer - it's hard work. But it was kind of my academic route.
I'm an old trial lawyer.
