It takes a lot of hard work to stay committed and focus on what I wanted to achieve.

Honestly, production when you first start can be difficult to wrap your head around.

I don't want to be any kind of producer at all - hands-on or otherwise! I feel producing is a very difficult job and creates ulcers! Maybe some people would like to have a certain amount of control; not me. It's too much stress and includes managing everybody's egos... handling my own is enough!

One of the things you realize with a lot of high achievers: You have to figure out a way to make things their idea.

I'm ephemeral as much as I can be, so I started to think about the idea of not working. It's really about a change of attitude. It's not so much about stopping, but about re-thinking the meaning of one's production.

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.

It's a lot of work to keep reinventing yourself and coming up with new stuff, but that's what it takes to be in show business.

What's difficult with doing 'The Producers' is your appetite is enormous. You want money; you want boards; you have huge desires. You've got to want more than anything for two and a half hours. Everything is heightened.
