"He played the song for me, and he had the speaker system from heaven. Who knows how many speakers were in that car? For someone my age, I like rock music, but I don't like a lot of it. Nevertheless, [the song] was melodic and played with great intensity. I said, 'Man, you've certainly got a foundation. This can pay off at the end.'"

During his interview with the TV Academy Foundation, William said,

"I just got assigned Brian's Song. I was one of the guys, I had done The Interns, and Len [producer Leonard Goldberg] liked my writing. Another terrific writer … got some sorority-house horror premise, and I got Brian's Song. Go figure."
