“Adversity creates comedy.” — Darren Star Quote

“Adversity creates comedy.”

“I've been on the board of UCLA Film and TV School, and I went to UCLA. I realized that the same movie theater that was there when I went to school, 30 years later is the same movie theater in the same condition. There was an opportunity to refurbish an existing room, and I jumped at the opportunity.”

“I grew up in D.C. but always had a love affair with New York. I did 'Central Park West,' 'Sex and the City,' 'Law & Order.'”

“The overcoming of adversity and, ultimately, denying it the rite of passage, has been a constant and perpetual motive throughout my life.”

“I love puzzles, challenges, the feeling that you get when you have an obstacle and go through adversity, finding the strength to go on.”

“People that are brilliant and successful, we think they've just always been that way. That's not the case. Most of them have had some tough adversity in their life. It's prepared them. I've never felt like you could develop character without adversity.”
