“I took my job for Nickelodeon very seriously, and back then, it wasn't...” — Mike O'Malley Quote

I took my job for Nickelodeon very seriously, and back then, it wasn't certainly as big of a network as it is now, culturally, and people my age didn't know much about it. But I loved my time there. I really put everything I had into doing 'Guts,' and it actually taught me a lot about how to work really hard.

There have been plenty of things that I've written that other people haven't cared about, but it hasn't stopped me from being a writer. So, I don't even think about other people. I'm just interested writing about human beings so if somebody calls and says, 'We'd like you to do it,' I'd say, 'That sounds like a cool idea.'

I think a family is the best way to open up the appeal of a show because everyone has a mother. Everyone has a father. Everyone has cousins or siblings. Everyone's trying to pursue their romantic ideals and their relationship ideals.

I did the commencement speech at UNH in 2006, and one of the biggest jokes was a 'Guts' joke.

There's no such thing as old age, there is only sorrow.

I would prefer to be forgotten, then rediscovered in a different age.

Let us never know what old age is. Let us know the happiness time brings, not count the years.

Age imprints more wrinkles in the mind than it does on the face.

But an old age serene and bright, and lovely as a Lapland night, shall lead thee to thy grave.
