Melodrama is something that is created... I don't seen a melodramatic episode of '90210' or any show that relies on that and think, 'Oh, that's life. That's how I experience it.'
You've got to have a young element in a show. Any project needs youth and dynamism as well old codgerdom and experience.
A little reflection will show us that every belief, even the simplest and most fundamental, goes beyond experience when regarded as a guide to our actions.
I love 'Top Chef.' I think it rewrote the book on how food shows are presented on TV.
I love Alton Brown's show 'Good Eats,' about the chemistry of food. It's really thoughtful.
In New York, I'll walk down the street and someone will say, 'Nice show,' and that's it. If I'm at a food festival, it's open season.
I'm just kind of taking a break now and enjoying the freedom of making my own choices. When you're on a television show for six years, they run your schedule.
The show is a satire, which gives us freedom to do anything we want. Satire is the magic word that wipes away any culpability. The media is jealous of this freedom.
My goal has always been to just kind of show how my family, we might be a different culture, but we're completely like everybody else.
After 'Boy Meets World' ended, I didn't know if I was going to be lucky enough to work on a show with as many talented people and feel such a family comradery.
Well Bill Martin and Mike Schiff were the creators and they knew we had to do a family show. Everybody came at it from the angle of having been a kid and a teenager.
If you want to really know what your friends and family think of you die broke, and then see who shows up for the funeral.
I don't watch that much TV. I think I should probably watch a little bit more, but I love the ABC Family shows.
I vowed that whenever my family needed me, I would give up everything to go to them, no matter what. The show must go on was meaningless to me.
Being a fan of someone's show and the way they still hold a family together doesn't mean I am OK with all they say.
When you go in and guest-star on a TV show, they already have their family - everybody pretty much knows everybody, and everyone sort of has that base already formed.
One minute I was completely unknown, barely able to feed my family, living on pennies. The next minute, Katie Couric was interviewing me on the breakfast show.
I just want to continue to break barriers and to show the industry and the world that beauty is diverse, and you don't have to be a certain stereotype to be beautiful.
I grew up in a show business family, so we've always had a great sense of balance, being so close to my parents.
Of course in show business there are two ways to play it and I am not politically correct so I am not going to get endorsements or anything like that.
I guess I've never really been aggressive, although almost everybody else in show business fights and gouges and knees to get where they want to be.
