Adolescence is just one big walking pimple.

If you see a kid in school, who is a little shy ... that's when you should reach out. When you do, you are going to open up a flower and discover something wonderful.

Originally, I came from Texas, and we lived on - I guess you'd call it welfare, what we called relief.

I love to write. I have always loved writing. That was my first love.

I've always been able to recount things and I have a really good memory about dialog and what people have said before and this and that.

No matter what, when you major in theater arts whether you want to write or be a director or design scenery or whatever, when you are a freshman at UCLA then - I guess it's still the same way - you had to take an acting class.

I think the hardest thing to do in the world, show-business-wise, is write comedy.
