Today I spend more time making music than I do writing.

To me, all writing is like music. And especially dialogue. I studied music in college; that is what I wanted to be, a composer. Acting got me sidetracked.

I enjoy writing nonfiction the most because one is limited only by one's imagination. Autobiography is tough.

I was the final word on everything. I wrote and directed. Complete cast approval. Every piece of music. Every edit. Which means I pissed off a lot of people.

In their arrogance, ABC wanted a number-one show. They wouldn't accept losing that time slot.

Hollywood... a city I was to come back to time and again, in sickness and in health, in success and in failure, with anticipation and with dread.
