I was the final word on everything. I wrote and directed. Complete cast approval. Every piece of music. Every edit. Which means I pissed off a lot of people.
I went from being a big TV star on the lot, with my own parking space, my own table in the commissary, to a complete nobody! When I went to get my stuff, they wouldn't let me on the lot.
My children are with me morning and night and weekends. Constantly. They are my complete priority, have been, and so they aren't suffering from lack of being with dad.
