#Quote
1[re Family Ties (1982)] I was interested in the dynamic of a couple that had been together long term, that were still very physically active and attracted to each other, a house where there was romance and where the parents' relationship to the kids reflected expanded lanes of communication and represented the way families were changing. This father was not threatened by the growing power of his own children. They were trying to have a relationship that would continue into the future. His goal was not to show how he could control and coerce these kids. It was ruling by love. It was the power of love that kept everybody - and respect - which is more powerful than fear. I wanted to show those elements.
2I watch absolutely no television series. None. Even though I know I am missing out on some very good programs, we have chosen to live almost a "culture free" life here in the hills of Vermont. I'm reading the books I was supposed to read in college. Walking with my wife and our five dogs. Food from the garden. Wine from California.
3I watched very little TV growing up and never thought I would end up as a TV and film writer, producer and director. I thought I would play center field for the Brooklyn Dodgers and when that fell through I really had no back up plan. Which is how a lot of people end up in show business, I think.
4I don't own a computer. Yet, oddly enough, I could see myself producing material directly for the Internet. What frustrated me at the end of my TV career was the filter between myself and the audience, that filter being a studio and a network. Without that interference and static, it could be fun again.
#Fact
1Was a mentor to actor Michael J Fox.
2His father, George, was a Post Office worker and his mother, Anne, was a bookkeeper in her father's hat company. His maternal grandparents lived downstairs and his grandmother proved to be remarkably influential in Goldberg's life: 'Anything that happened to me that's been good really goes back to Brooklyn and...my grandmother's apartment,' he once said.
3Dropped out of college and spent time in the 1960s and '70s waiting tables at The Village gate in Greenwich Village, hitchhiking around the world for over a year with his future wife Diane, a former stewardess. They also started a day care center with her in Northern California.
4He and his wife Diana were, predictably, the models for the liberal parents Steven and Elyse Keaton on 'Family Ties (1982)(TV)'. Their daughter Shana Goldberg-Meehan would further use Gary as the inspiration for Jack Geller (Elliott Gould).
5Father of Cailin Goldberg Meehan and Shana Silveri; father-in-law of Robert Dubbin and Scott Silveri.
6Didn't own a computer.
