I was very lucky as a writer to have consummate performers coming on board. I brought him from England to Los Angeles and gave him a name and a profile, but at the same time, he returned that favor in spades. He was so good in the role, but not doing it wouldn't have stopped him from becoming a success, nor would it have stopped Susan from becoming a success. She's just great. To be the author of it and having contributed to such a large part of it is a good feeling.
Every day is a gift.
