Alex Flinn

I was a lawyer for about ten years. The law teaches one to see things from all different angles.

I have a great deal of empathy for anyone who's having a hard time. I believe this ability to see another's viewpoint has served me well as a writer.

Although my other ambition was to be a musical theater star (and I would attend college on a voice scholarship), writing was never far from my mind.

All sides in a trial want to hide at least some of the truth.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.
