Can a television drama such as Law & Order use my lines without infringing on my rights?

Recently the television show Law & Order used a character in my same position that quoted all of my lines from a recent interview I did for television. Some of these lines are also published in my book. I was not consulted. Is this an infringement on my copyrights?

If you and your factual situation was in the news, those news/history facts are free for anyone to use, and no one needs to consult you.
