Writing a book is such a full-time job. If you're away for a few days, you have to start again.

I'm from the US of A. Born in Des Moines, raised in the New York suburbs.

I go to St. Matthews in Pacific Palisades, an Episcopal Church.

Don't try to start a career in LA, unless money is all you're interested in.

I'm working on a new novel, in its 3rd draft, but it's hard to write while doing 7th Heaven.

I might be in an airport, late or angry with a ticket person, and I'm going to sort of check myself, because part of me is seen as Eric Camden. We all need as much help as we can get. It's a role model to me as much as to anybody else.

I can't come on like a parent to these kids, if I do, I won't be able to have fun working with them. The good news is they all have parents. The younger ones, their parents by law have to be on set.
