After doing this, going away, trying other things and working on other shows, this character, and working within Days of Our Lives, has been one of the most enjoyable experiences in my career.

I played a lot of character parts in school.

I had not picked up a tennis racket in 15 years, so I tried.

I draw whatever hits me.

I don't know if Jim was a major part of that or not. He is one of a small group of real storytellers. He has enormous imagination and ability to write. I'm glad he's coming back. It's going to be good for the show.

For me, the joy of doing it is doodling when I want to. But if I had to do it, I'd lose the joy.
