In an interview with People, Grammer spoke of how he has his misgivings as a father- particularly to his older children- and that he is trying to make stuff work. "I'm trying to iron it out now. Trying to sort them out," he says, of his relationship with his older children, though not exactly naming the children, in particular, adding that he remembers them being "great people" their whole lives.

"I work on a lot of things. I like the idea of being sort of a magnet. Try this, try that. Some of them don't work out, some of them don't," he said. "Kids are a big part of it now," he continued, admitting he's dealing with "some failings" in the middle of his relationships with his older children.

"They're beautiful too. I remember them when they were little and I know they were great people. So whatever they're going through now, can't tarnish that. They're still in there," he continued. "The good person's in there." "It's the greatest experience in the world, the joy every day of being with my kids," he added.

In the interview, he also spoke about his much-awaited return to the show 'Frasier' where he plays the titular character. He has won four Primetime Emmy Awards for the same. "We're in the final stages of the final script for the first episode of Frasier, and it looks pretty good," he said. "I've had a couple of runs through it, and I cried, so you know, I'm happy."
