I ended up going to NYU for film school - close to Pennsylvania - but we talked about what if I went to UCLA or USC, and my mom's whole world was caving in. ”

Negative attention was better than no attention. ”

Being from Philadelphia, 'Parents Just Don't Understand' was a big deal - I have audio of my brother and me singing that song. ”

Singing karaoke is my worst nightmare. But in the car, I rock out to anything Bon Jovi or Beastie Boys. ”

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.' ”
