Adam F. Goldberg

I never did video dating.

Anything that I love, I love to the extreme. I'm obsessive. If it's 'Star Wars,' if it's 'Transformers,' if it's the Flyers, I geek out.

When I was at the end of middle school and the beginning of high school, I fell in love with hockey in a serious way.

Everyone in the '80s grew up, and for a lot of the film executives, that's what they know and love.

Because my home life was nuts, I didn't look to my parents for help. I looked to my teachers. They made me who I am. They took on a parental role. They're like celebrities or heroes to me.

Ever since 'The Goldbergs' began, one of my dreams was to write a homage to 'Highlander.'

I love 'AP Bio' - I think it's so funny - it's just not the show I want to do.

All of my family members have had moments where they're upset with me because I'll cavalierly write a story just to be funny.

Breaking In' is a very different office comedy and a caper comedy. Aside from 'Chuck,' there is no half-hour comedy that does stuff like that.

For me, I went to NYU, and at that point, it was 1995, and everyone wanted to be Tarantino. I was writing these stupid comedies, and I felt lost.

I followed Evan's career through the '90s and went to many Lemonheads concerts in N.Y.C. Since he was my best friend's family, he always felt like my family in a weird way.

The Wonder Years' family was the kind where everything seemed to be bubbling and simmering with the occasional explosion. There were a lot of things that went unsaid in that family. In my family, everything is said - on the surface, you scream and yell about it, and three minutes later, you're all friends.
