| Quotes: |
On playing the character "Dennis Blunden" on Head of the Class (1986), "I'm basically playing myself, except Dennis is sort of a more immature version of me...I'm a much nicer guy!".
<br />
<hr>
On writing movies that appeal to everyone, "My goal is to have the 10-year-olds and the 40-year-olds laughing together."
<br />
<hr>
[Commenting on his high-school years] My mom had her own seat in the principal's office (because I kept getting into trouble). But they sent for my dad when I sneaked into school at night to use the library's computer.
<br />
<hr>
[In regards to the accusations he's received from former Nickelodeon stars] I couldn't, and I wouldn't have the long-term friendships and continued loyalty from so many reputable people if I'd mistreated my actors of any age, especially minors. |
