Six years ago, I completed the premier episode of Hawaii Five-O, and Jack Lord and I immediately realized that we had a good series, that this was a success such as we'd never hoped for!

A woman doesn't just love a man. She loves who he is. And, who he is is dependent on what he needs.

You know, as I do, actors who, having become worldwide celebrities thanks to a TV series, complain of their lot and declare themselves ready to drop it all.

They all went down in droves because just scenes of palm trees and beaches can get pretty boring.

I don't think anyone connected with Five-O believed the show would last as long as it did.

And I had an old-fashioned idea that dividends were a good thing.

Once you're a winner, you can give all sorts of reasons why you're a winner. Of course, you could all those same reasons to explain why a show fails.
