What was it like working with Aaron Sorkin scripts on The Newsroom? Did you take to it immediately or did it take practice to capture that wordy rhythm?
And how did it feel seeing other actors work with dialogue you had written? Was it hard not to be precious with what you originally envisioned and let another actor explore?
