The writers that I aspire to, like Joni Mitchell and Randy Newman, they'll tell you that the work gets harder, not easier. And they set that bar for us where we're always striving to do something better than the last time, whether it's the next song or just the next line. ↗

If writers were good businessmen, they'd have too much sense to be writers. ↗

I think Star Trek has been very double-edged for all of us - as actors, writers, directors. ↗
