I gravitate toward the law, I think, certainly more times than not, because it's our best mechanism for legislating human behavior, and morality, and ethics.
Some of my high school teachers did remind me that I had an excellent imagination when it came to making up excuses.
The more lawyers there are, the more people are out there to encourage others not to go to law school.
But I do believe that in all my shows, I really enjoy the quirky, the eccentric characters, the ones you don't meet every day.
We also have issue oriented storylines which are an examination of an issue, be it ethical or social.
