"The trick in writing theater lyrics, to me, is getting inside the skin of the character, getting inside that character's head, and trying to come up with a song that that character would sing. It's harder than it looks … If you really get inside that character, the vocabulary becomes his vocabulary. That's what you try to do."

"What 'The Addams Family' says is that it doesn’t matter what you’re like outside, it’s inside that counts. That’s why people who are disowned by society like the show so much. Real values are there underneath. During the run of the show psychiatrists wrote articles about how it was the healthiest show on the air. It was an affirmation of life."

"HBO was primitive when I got there. It didn't know what it could be, what it should be, or how to get there. Serendipitously, a really interesting collection of people came together. We had lots of laughs - I never did a meeting without a joke. If you go talk to old HBO people just ask them, 'What was it like back then?' It was Camelot to us."

"I have high energy on the set. I don't like anything to slow it down. When I go in there, I tell you exactly what to do, and where to go and how to do it. We don't have time to discuss anything at length."
