Rob Thomas : (2)

" In a weird way, ‘Veronica Mars’ was my reaction to ‘Freaks and Geeks’ because ‘Freaks and Geeks’ was the show I wanted to write, the one I wanted to create, where there was no gimmick; you didn’t have to have a teenage private eye. It was just these beautiful small stories about real kids. " - Rob Thomas

" It’s funny: I always, as a high school teacher and particularly as a high school yearbook teacher, because yearbook staffs are 90 percent female, I got to sit in and overhear teenage girl talk for many years. I like teenage girls; I like their drama, their foibles. And I think, ‘I’ll be good with a teenage daughter!’ " - Rob Thomas
