Over the course of television's history, I think fans have done more to save shows and support them than ruin them.

I can't help but always be thinking about ideas.

I still run into people in the business who skip over any other credits I have and say, 'I loved 'Hey, Dude!'' This was back in '88, '89, '90. It was a goofy show about kids working at a dude ranch in Arizona. We did 65 episodes; I wrote 13 of them. We didn't know what we were doing, but it was writers' boot camp. It was great.

No one sees themself as the villain in their story.

If you put people in a corner, you see what their character really is.
