The writing is amazing because having a hand in creating what you're going to be performing... there's nothing like it. It's always going to be better suited for you. You're always going to know the lines faster, because you wrote it. The writing is so very hard. It's the hardest part of the whole process. In some ways the acting is a lot easier and a lot more fun.

I have always been a HUGE Star Wars fan since I was like 5 years old. Most of us in the writers room at Family Guy were big nerds growing up and could recite almost any scene from Star Wars.

I got my degree in rhetoric.

If for no other reason than it's just fun to watch people age, and it's fun to watch what happened to '80s hairdos and outfits, and what they look like now.

Never try to fit a target audience. Write what is true to the characters in their settings and the audience will find you.

Television and film acting is really fun because you are working with other people and you are not completely responsible for the outcome of the project.

I think all shows change as they age as do the people who make the shows. As do the people who watch the shows. All targets are moving.
