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

No one sees themself as the villain in their story.

I'm lucky enough that, in my career, people think that attaching my name to something helps it a little bit.

I had a great dad and we had a great relationship, but he's still a part of my life.

Being a showrunner is tough, but it is incredibly rewarding and it is, without a doubt, the best job I've ever had.

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

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.
