My Court Skills May Have Atrophied.

People Are Out Of Their Home On A Saturday Night Or They're At The Movies Or They're At Dinner And A Lot Of The People Who Flip On The Television Are Doing Just That. They May Have Never Seen Your Show Before And You Can't Count On To Your Audience To Be There Week In And Week Out.

The Way I Personally Work Is I Like To Write What I Know, What I Feel, And Also Where I Am.

I Never Thought Of Myself As A Writer.

You've Got To Honor Your Relationship With Your Audience - That They Sit Down Because They Want To Be Entertained. And That Doesn't Mean You Can't Provoke Them And Antagonize Them And Challenge Them In The Course Of The Entertainment As Long As You Keep The Entertainment Part Of The Equation Alive.

But I Do Believe That In All My Shows, I Really Enjoy The Quirky, The Eccentric Characters, The Ones You Don't Meet Every Day.
