As he said, he still considers himself to be a writer at heart, and once words are in your veins, they never quite let you go.
After writing on Hill Street Blues in the mid-1980s, and writing and producing on Miami Vice from 1986-1988, Dick Wolf moved on to creating his own shows to write, and has, of course, become quite successful.
So, he fully understands what it’s like to be one of those people who spends “all their time in rooms, alone” in order to create a show that, hopefully, connects with enough folks to keep people entertained / employed for years to come.
