David E. Kelley: (about the show The Law Firm) I think it’s a smart show and it gives our contestants a chance to excel. It’s not a forum to exploit or ridicule the lawyers who are a part of this franchise, it’s just the opposite. It’s a place where the brightest will shine. (edit)
David E. Kelley: If you interview people or friends who work with me, they would say I'm private or internal or don't emote a lot. Yet I do it every day for 10 million people. I just don't do it for the 30 people I'm in the room with. (edit)
David E. Kelley: (on the show Boston Legal) I think this show probably, I guess, is a reflection of me a little bit, has a scream in its belly and sometimes it just feels it needs to scream. (edit)
David E. Kelley: If an issue isn't going to succeed on an entertainment level, we will usually pass on it. Beyond that, if we can be provocative on an intellectual or social level as well, then all the better. (edit)
David E. Kelley: (on reality shows) I remain as disgusted as ever at the exploitative garbage currently polluting our medium and will try not to pollute it further. (edit)
