I love writing family stories.

I've always felt like I had a guardian angel in some of those ways.

Even though you're in charge you're not completely in ownership. You know, the audience takes a huge ownership of your show.

When I was a kid, there was kind of a given that there were some really bad, racist police out there. That's just what America was like when I was a kid.

During my career as a standup and actor, I realized it was very frustrating for me to get hired because Hollywood was hiring a different kind of brother, you know, and I was doing political humor... In order for me to really have a long career, I'm going to have to learn how to write and produce for myself... I had no idea I was really going to like it and I'm very fortunate to be successful. But the idea was to always eventually create something for myself. That was the idea from the beginning when I went into writing and producing.

A lot of science started off as magic, where people were burned at the stake for doing science basically.

When you're in the eye of the hurricane, you're making the show - you just want the show to be good, you want it to be appreciated and those types of things.
