My middle school years were defined by memorizing every single word off 'License to Ill' and 'Paul's Boutique.'
My mom was always writing me notes to get me out of stuff.
My mom is not typical in any way.
I think the '80s works for a TV show because it's the last time the world was simple. It was before the Internet really changed everything and made the world really small.
I always say that even though my dad was alive during Woodstock, he was just not invited. He just seemed like he was from a different generation.
My dad felt old school.
I think a lot of guys have their favorite shirt that they wear for years and years.
That's what Flyers fans are all about. My favorite thing about Philly fans is booing their own team.
The way I'm raising my kids is so different than the way I was raised.
I had 'Breaking In' at Fox, and that was a constant stopping and starting of getting canceled and picked up again.
My parents are interested in politics.
Everyone in the '80s grew up, and for a lot of the film executives, that's what they know and love.
For me, I went to NYU, and at that point, it was 1995, and everyone wanted to be Tarantino. I was writing these stupid comedies, and I felt lost.
Watching Eagles games with my dad, whether at the vet or in our house, was a big part of my childhood.
That's what I did whenever I loved a movie: I'd get together with my friends and play it out and re-enact it.
When you hire directors, you're most concerned about whether or not someone from the outside will get the jokes.
That's what happens when they give guys like me a television show: you try and get toys and Garbage Pail Kids!
I like being surrounded by all the stuff that makes me feel creative and inspires me.
My mom is a pack rat.
I grew up obsessively collecting Queen T-shirts and concert posters and rare U.K. imports of their CDs.
