“In our house, there was a lot of yelling. It was everyone walking in on each other and very few boundaries.”

“My brother was a huge Tim Kerr fan. He loved the way Kerr would power to the net, and he related to that playing style.”

“Prior to 'The Goldbergs,' I rarely got good reviews on anything I've done.”

“I always say that even though my dad was alive during Woodstock, he was just not invited. He just seemed like he was from a different generation.”

“There was kind of a no-nonsense parenting style that my parents had that was true of the time. Everything now... there are books, and there are websites, and there are blogs, and you're reading, and there's research. We're such an interconnected world now, and half the stuff they did was pretty terrible, but we somehow turned out fine.”
