I'm Sick Of Girls Who

I Don't Want To Analyze Myself Or Anything, But I Think, In Fact I Know This To Be True, That I Enter The World Through What I Write. I Grew Up Believing, And Continue To Believe, That I Am A Screw-up, That Growing Up With My Family And Friends, I Had Nothing To Offer In Any Conversation. But When I Started Writing, Suddenly There Was Something That I Brought To The Party That Was At A High-enough Level.

Pretty Much Up Until The West Wing, Our Leaders Had Always Been Portrayed In Popular Culture As Either Machiavellian Or Dolts. But I Thought, "what If We Show A Group Of People Who Are Highly Competent, They're Going To Lose As Much As They Win, But We're Going To Understand That They Wake Up Every Morning Wanting To Do Good?" That Was Really The Spirit Behind The West Wing.

It's Important To Remember That, First And Foremost, If Not Only, This Is Entertainment. 'the West Wing' Isn't Meant To Be Good For You.

I've Never Met Anyone Who Has Said, "my Goal Is To Make America Mediocre." That's A Kind Of Hard-right Conservative Fallacy.

Stupid People Surround Themselves With Smart People. Smart People Surround Themselves With Smart People Who Disagree With Them.
