I love being a producer, and I think I essentially still operate as a producer even though I now have control of marketing and the ability to green-light shows - something every producer wants but that they don't get!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The beauty about being a producer is you sit there, and you explore ideas which become a passion, which slowly becomes a reality.
Once you become a producer, you're really selling something. It is a control issue, because you don't really know how it's going to pan out, but the creative control makes it work it.
I love producing. I have been producing some acts and starting a label.
I love producing. I am loving doing that. I think that is my most natural space in the business. I just love producing or editing and that's where I thrive.
I don't think of myself as a producer. In television, it's part of the business - if you progress and become successful as a writer, you're called a writer-producer. What that means is that you have a lot of say in casting and behind-the-scenes stuff. But I'm just a writer.
I didn't ever plan to be a producer, and I didn't really know what I was getting myself into.
You know, what a producer does is one of the great mysteries in life, so anyone can be one.
I love producing. My dream as a producer is to be able to build a company that can be a safe haven for artists, for directors and for writers and actors to do what they do best and let them have final edit. I'd like to build something to that effect.
I think the days of working with producers in the conventional sense are over for me.
I'm a writer; I'm a producer. I've certainly spread myself over a lot of different careers.
