I fell in love with Erica Kane the summer before my freshman year of high school. Like all red-blooded teen American boys, I'd come home from water polo practice and eat a box of Entenmann's Pop'Ems donut holes in front of the TV while obsessively fawning over 'All My Children' and Erica, her clothes, and her narcissistic attitude.

TV was my hobby. I loved the glitz. I loved how hot everybody was.

I never say I work in television, I say I get to work in television.

I cannot believe the volume of famous people I run into in my life, and that's part of the reason I love diary format.

I may be a man, but I fight like a girl.

I love 'Top Chef.' I think it rewrote the book on how food shows are presented on TV.

I am a late discoverer of 'Friday Night Lights.' I cry every episode at least once. I love to cry - happy, emotional tears. I just love it.
