    • Quotes
      To be quite honest, I can only claim a modest part in the whole MacGyver story. It's like when your child goes into the world and is wildly successful. You obviously played a crucial role and can be proud of that, but it's not really your achievement. It is mainly the achievement of the immensely talented people who spent their years and lives making MacGyver what he is today. Not to mention the literally billions of fans who embraced the character and have made him their own.
