When I was a playwright earlier in my career - my senior project in high school was my first produced play - I used to put on the title page: 'A tragedy with laughs.'

Dexter-Land is a dark and scary place, and I couldn't live there permanently. To be honest, I don't think I even want to visit.

I know a lot of law officers, and every single one of them faces a moment - usually after about three hours on the job - when they realise that there's no connection between law and justice.

The law, as an institution, avoids justice, subverts it, just as often as it sees it done.

They were often the first students in their family to go to college and the very idea of higher education was still foreign to them. They had to make a conscious and often difficult decision to come to college.

Family is just the people you care about. We can bond with people that we have nothing in common with, even if it's just for a moment.

Making sensible family rules around cell phones and driving is a way to love yourself, your marriage, your children, and the world well.

No one in my family had ever done anything acting-wise or entertainment industry-wise.
