Scott: (On his show "Aliens in America being called offensive) The beauty of the show is that it shows there's ignorance on both sides. I think those critics that were railing against the show – quite vehemently to everyone's surprise – I think they completely missed the point. It's not untrue to say that a lot of Americans don't know a lot about Islamic culture. They don't know the history, their daily customs, the whys and wherefores. It's also safe to say that on the other side there are a heck of a lot of Muslims that don't understand what American culture is all about. So I think this is just really an attempt – in the form of a premise for a comedy show – to try to have a couple balls in the air at the same time. Socially, culturally, comedically – and I applaud [producers] Moses [Port] and David [Guarascio] for attempting it. And I think they pulled it off, and to me it's quite an accomplishment.

Scott: (On whether he improved his lines on "Gilmore Girls") Improv? Oh, no. Oh, no. I mean, if you miss a period, they do another take. If you say "the" instead of "and," they do another take. You don't - - you know, the writer is GOD. As well it should be. You don't flub a comma, or a pause, or a word. So, that's no improv on there. No, no, no.

Scott: Popstars really draws you in. It's fascinating. It's interesting to watch people thrown together in that kind of a situation. Even if the egos weren't involved and they weren't trying to be world famous. It's the Real World, only better.
