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

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

My first real showbiz job was on a Nickelodeon show called 'Hey, Dude.' That was my first real paid scriptwriting job.

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

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

No one sees themself as the villain in their story.

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

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.
