I don't even know what a traditional producer is or does. I feel like the job is like being a coach, building good work habits and building trust. You want to get to a point where you can say anything and talk about anything. There needs to be a real connection.

You know, what a producer does is one of the great mysteries in life, so anyone can be one.

I think of myself as a producer. As a producer and as a showrunner, I already understand what it meant to gather people into a room and step back, to create the boundaries of 'everything's okay' to allow TV writers to go to their craziest places.

There are lots of good producers out there.

On a practical level I'm a TV producer and storyteller who's gone about as long as you can go without achieving a mass audience.

I only got to be able to act, because I gave myself a job as a producer.

I don't think I'll ever be a producer who's into taking the meetings and fighting the big fights with studios. I really don't like that part. I'm much more interested in the material.

Being a producer, I deal with a lot of different directors, and some of them would drive me insane with all the different histrionics, and the mystique that they carry.

I think of myself as a producer who tries to bring the best out of everyone, whether that be an artist, songwriter or a publicist.

The beauty about being a producer is you sit there, and you explore ideas which become a passion, which slowly becomes a reality.
