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.

Time is money, as they say, and it was never more apropos than on a television show, where a minute is worth about $200!

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.

When I was a young actor... the more different you were from the part you played, the more talent it reflected.

My favorite thing is to be alone in a room with a blank paper in front of me and the time to fill it.

Films must all have the same structure. All of this to guarantee box office bonanza, which of course it never does, but that's another discussion entirely.

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.
