- Personally, I think a good writer who understands his craft can write anything. I wrote a lot of comedy and I've written medical shows, lawyer shows and Westerns. I apply the same dramatic concepts to each area, no matter what the area is. In my 32 years in the business, I have never been unemployed. (from a 1992 interview)
