You do a job; your show gets canceled. You get used to it.

What I can say that's different in American television... in Britain, they wouldn't cancel something after a couple of episodes. In the States they would. They would just decide it's not working, take it off and put something else in on the fall schedule.

For a long time, my shows were about people walking out or about getting my gigs canceled or having the presenter not wanting to pay me.

Journalists told me that a talk show wouldn't work. Some told me I was going to get canceled before my first season was up.

This was great fun and a nice paycheck and then, as these things happen, the show was canceled.

A show is like having a climax. It's like having an incredible, natural climax. And then suddenly it's all finished, and you don't know what to do next.

I don't know what it's like to be an actor, where if your show gets canceled, really you're just a bum.

'Brisco' was the first show I created, and of course, at the time I had no idea what a special experience it was because I didn't have a frame of reference. After it was over I was like, 'Damn. Shoot. That was something special.' I'm still upset that it got cancelled.

I've been on so many primetime shows that were cancelled - after one episode, after 10 episodes, after just one season. I got used to that. But I found myself choking up a bit at 'OLTL.' It was really hard to say goodbye to those people. It was not the way we wanted to go out.
