" How did you know Kyra was &amp;quot;the one&amp;quot; for you? When I look back, the thing that blows my mind is how young she was when we met. But she had this wisdom. With a lot of actors, you&amp;#039;ve got to chip through the surface to see who the real person is. But she didn&amp;#039;t have any of that. She was this very tough, smart, very real person, incredibly emotional and passionate. It didn&amp;#039;t seem weird to me that we were getting married and having kids so quickly. You encouraged Kyra to take the role on The Closer. Was that a hard decision for you? Not at all. It was time for her, and the only thing I did was say, &amp;quot;Listen, it may work out or it may not, and God knows I&amp;#039;ve made tons of crappy movies nobody has seen, so I&amp;#039;m no genius when it comes to career guidance. But the thing I do know is that we&amp;#039;re all going to be okay.&amp;quot; &amp;#039;Cause that&amp;#039;s the thing that concerns her with every single job she&amp;#039;s offered \u2014 it always comes back to the kids. What&amp;#039;s one of the important life lessons that you try to give to your kids? That there are many different kinds of success. If you are a compassionate human being who can relate to a lot of different kinds of people and cares about the world outside of [your] own sphere, then that&amp;#039;s a tremendous success. Our kids could go off and be actors or singers or work at McDonald&amp;#039;s for the rest of their lives if I felt they were truly happy. You&amp;#039;ve directed episodes of The Closer. What&amp;#039;s that like? Great. Kyra&amp;#039;s so well prepared and open to suggestions, though I rarely have any. I just say, &amp;quot;Action&amp;quot; and watch her go!
