I think it's Jerry's masterful fiction writing.

Jerry picked up the technique of visualizing the story as a movie scenario; and whenever he gave me a script, I would see it as a screenplay. That was the technique that Jerry used, and I just picked it up.

It's not the same without Jerry. It never will be.

Jerry didn't know he wanted to get married until he was married.

It's grown into a personal relationship, yeah. I'm crazy about Jerry. I think he's a unique character.

Before I ever put anything on paper, Jerry and I would talk back and forth.

And then I met Jerry and he's such a creative fiction writer, and I don't know if there's ever been a team put together the way we are - where one person does the theological way out and suggestions, and the other person goes into the cave and does the fiction writing.

In the beginning, we had a great deal of freedom, and Jerry wrote completely out of his imagination - very, very freely. We even had no editorial supervision to speak of, because they were in such a rush to get the thing in before deadline. But later on we were restricted.

I wrote a book with my mom and my sister for fun. I had no idea it would be a 'New York Times' bestseller.

Through that, I got to know Jerry's work, and I am definitely his number-one fan right now, which is interesting because it usually works the other way around: you usually create a project based on your hero.
