You know, I need that I'm also it's also great because I was the dad that was home.
My wife's a pediatrician She always wanted to be a doctor always wanted to be a pediatrician and I think one of the strengths in our relationship early on was that We both wanted the editor to succeed and it's always strikes me as weird and I'm not saying this in a Trying to appeal to a feminist kind of way.
I don't get the guys who sabotage the women in their lives
thing or want to be the breadwinner or the main man like to me because when we were first starting out before the writing success she was actually making more money and more successful i thought that made me look great you know like even selfishly i would say wow yeah i was able to get this fantastic woman who's not just you know beautiful and wonderful but she could she's a pediatrician i'd be bragging about her and other guys i don't really understand why guys
sort of undermine their woman because in a sense you're undermining yourself, aren't you?
I think for her maybe it was the best time.
I think because she proves herself under fire.
it's the small things that sometimes will upset her or she won't be, you know, where she'll decompensate.
But when the big things hit, like when my father died, my mother got very ill, that's where you, that's where she's shown, you know, like that's where, you know, as a writer, I talk about the grenade theory of writing, which is you throw a grenade in a room, you never know how someone's really going to react.
You may think the big, strong, brave guy is going to be the one jumping on it and then ends up being the character who is the most
seemingly lacking courage character.
It's the surprising thing.
So when I'm writing something, when you throw a grenade in a room, I try not to figure out who's going to do what until that grenade is in the room.
And in my wife's case, the bigger the problem, the more she rises to the occasion.
No, I mean, not in terms of domestic life.
I think it's been, you know, again, writing...
It was my 10th novel that was my first published novel.
I didn't have a TV series.
Now I'm known as Mr. Netflix American, British TV.
My first TV series, English language TV series didn't come out until I was 54 years old.
