I've made producers cry and been compared to a dog –
and those are some of the nicer things people have said about working with me...

I am sitting here with tears running down my face. It means the world that this is happening, Kristin. Thank you for all your help. I was the one who took this risk.

On a personal note, I just want to say that I think you have done a truly fantastic job for Tartan TV.
