I take having a kids' show real seriously. I think it's an enormous responsibility.
In my first year at drama school, I did this kids' show called 'Let's See.'
When we were first doing kids' shows with the BBC they asked us where we wanted to be in a few years' time and we said we want to be where Noel Edmonds is.
I went to USC and got my first break writing for a kids' show called 'Pepper Ann.'
'Doctor Who' began as family television: a show that kids and their parents and grandparents can all watch, maybe even together, on the sofa.
I'm really surprised at how popular 'Starstruck' has become, but I'm so thankful because we worked so hard on it, and I'm happy that so many kids enjoy it. I'm also really happy at how the soundtrack turned out!
Why would I, in a million years, want to do anything even remotely having to do with child molestation on a children's show? See, I take having a kids' show real seriously. I think it's an enormous responsibility.
I always thought, if I was gonna make a kids show, I would want to make something that my own 12-year-old self would love. So, I put all that in a blender and stewed it together to create 'Gravity Falls.'
