Children... are our legacy. Our responsibility. They are our destiny and we are theirs. The extent to which we fail as parents, we fail as Gods children.

I believe that the first 8 years are most important and the time in a child's life when parents must be absolutely and completely present.

To me, all writing is like music. And especially dialogue. I studied music in college; that is what I wanted to be, a composer. Acting got me sidetracked.

You can't leave civilization behind entirely.

I write from the same place I parent, and since becoming a single parent, I have found it difficult, if not impossible, to write anything of length.

I never get involved with the ladies I work with.

From Fred Astaire I learned discipline and hard work.
