It turns out that good actors can make anything believable.

I was in a cult for thirty-four years. Everyone else could see it. I don’t know why I couldn’t.

Always write from your gut, no matter what the project is.

If you change the right mind, then that person can perhaps change the world.

I was fired from my own television show, CBS's Family Law. It was the second time this had happened in my career, the first being when I was fired from The Facts of Life. I had been grateful to work in TV for so long but had always been chasing a career as a feature writer-director and had completely failed.

The radical rightwing pegs Hollywood as a leftist town, which is completely wrong. There are a lot of actors, writers, and directors who talk a liberal agenda... but all the studio bosses, for as long as there have been studios, have all been as far rightwing as you can possibly imagine.

What I love about writing is the contradictions we all embody as human beings.
