I was going to make movies. I was the one in the family who was always rolling the video camera, making movies of my brothers around town, and then screening them for my parents.

Bill Hanna and I owe an awful lot to television, but we both got our start and built the first phase of our partnership in the movies.

I do love to act more. I have had to turn down multiple movies because I was on tour, but it is encouraging to know that someday there might be the right role, the right timing. And I have been writing a lot of music, so hopefully very soon I will have recorded a project of my own. I also want to get a boat and open a restaurant.

When we were doing Freaks and Geeks', I did not quite understand how movies and TV worked, and I would improvise even if the camera was not on me.

Studios, because they are investing a great deal of money in movies, they want a guarantee that when they hire somebody that person can deliver for them. Everything is fear based, so they pigeonhole people. But I have written everything, from Westerns to sci-fi to dramedy, I have done it all.

All my good movies, nobody sees.

I do not know any form of art or entertainment that can affect people the way movies can. I know it sounds ridiculous, but they can change your world. They can change your views.

What do I geek out about? What am I? Hmmm. I love movies. I watch movies. I like big, sweeping epics, like Ed Zwick stuff: The Last Samurai, Legends of the Fall, Blood Diamond, Glory.

It seems like the studios are either making giant blockbusters, or really super-small indies. And the mid-level films I grew up on, like Back to the Future and all those John Hughes movies, the studios aren't doing. It is hard to get them on their feet.

Movies are movies, television is television.

I have had nine of my books adapted to film, and almost all were enjoyable. I have been very lucky with Hollywood, and look forward to more movies being adapted. But I do not get involved in that process. I know nothing about making movies and I stay away from it and hope for the best.

My grandmother and I saw an average of eight movies a week, double features, second run.

I do not like to watch my own movies - I fall asleep in my own movies.
