I majored in Shakespearean studies at a very tiny school in Georgia.

After I lost my fiance, it seemed like it would be better to always be alone than to risk being hurt again.

All the criticism and all of the praise, it doesn't - it's not worth the salt that goes on my bread, because TV is fickle. You can be loved one day and hated the next day. One day, you're getting an award. And the next day, you're getting a death threat.

I always thought that was one of the single most important things a prosecutor could do is to seek justice for the families of victims.

I was in the courtroom prosecuting violent felonies for well over a decade.

I grew up in a courtroom kind of like the one you saw in 'To Kill a Mockingbird' - big, big courtroom, sometimes it didn't even have air conditioning.
