Quote

I was raised by television. It was my first cultural window. It was a constant companion.

I grew up on the golden age of children's TV.

I grew up in the world of bad television, on my dad's sets and then as a young schmuck on dating shows and so on.

At the end of the day, TV is my first love. I started off my career from the small screen.

I liked television, and television liked me.

I just always had a love for television and movies.

My parents separated it, and that let me know that TV life wasn't my normal life; that was my job and my hobby.

Television was a great place for me to kind of fall on my face and make mistakes and be okay with it and move on.

I was very much an only child who was raised by the television and movies, and I grew up in New York. We weren't, like, rich people, but we were middle-class people and my parents supported this love I had for entertainment.

And then I went into television; and then television moved from the East Coast to Hollywood.
