When you watch the sitcoms that were the big hits when I was growing up, TV was still just TV. It was allowed to just be TV. There were three channels that were competing for the whole family and you couldn't take your business elsewhere.

Emotionally, shows like 'Cheers' and 'Taxi' were classic sitcoms when I was growing up.

I feel like I am a good person and a professional, very able leader of men.

There's the same percentage of genius happening in both genders, but there's less women writing scripts and out there looking for the job.

The public's perception of your show is what it is, and you don't get to complain how people perceive your show or talk about it.

When I was a kid I never knew the difference between a sitcom and a drama. I just knew what my parents were watching and what was making them happy.

If your ratings are high and there's money being made, you're allowed to be a perfectionist in television.

Everyone knows that there are more people watching any given show than is being registered by the Nielsen system.

Truthfully, I'm pretty stuck in the '80s.

TV in all its ugliness can be a beautiful thing.

Maybe I am just a jerk.

I really like performing for people.
