If golf wasn't enjoyable and there wasn't a lot of humor and enjoyment, even though the game is so frustrating, you would wonder why you put yourself through it.

You know, a TV show is a slow build.

My kids are growing up and it's hard to accept they are their own person and they're independent.

Mick Jagger also a music connoisseur and knows everything about that era. So, you knew the music side was going to be top-notch. It's HBO. On Men of Certain Age, if we wanted a song, it would break the bank. But, Vinyl can go all-out.

Having children is like living in a frat house - nobody sleeps, everything's broken, and there's a lot of throwing up.

I had to be naked [in Vinyl], but I was almost more nervous about having to be drunk. The director wasn't going to yell, "Too big!," during the nude scene. For the drunk scene, you can be bad drunk or good drunk. We'll see. My wife was not happy, hearing about it.

Mike Royce and I have always had success writing what we know. What we know now is that we're middle-aged, neurotic and fat.
