It's great to be able to connect parents with children both emotionally and through humor. I look forward to exploring family entertainment once again and examining the specifics of our day-to-day lives against the backdrop of an extraordinary adventure.

I have always liked family-type dramas; I just think the dynamics in families make for some really interesting characters.

I'm endlessly fascinated with the ways families work and the ways they don't.

I love playing a dad. It's hard to find family dramas that are genuinely funny.

I find families intriguing, perhaps because I did not grow up in one. I was raised by a feminist, independent, single mother, a divorcee.

Family tends to be one of the recurring themes in my fiction.

I'm attracted to stories that deal with the family and what it's like to be a member of that family, whether it's together or apart, given the pressures that are put on it by the outside world.

I like stories that affect families.

To me, families are puzzles that take a lifetime to work out - or not, as often is the case - and I like to explore how people within them try to connect, be it through love, duty, or circumstance.

My stories are fundamentally about the love of family.
