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

I'm not a producer and I don't even know the places my producer goes to, thankfully.

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.

If you are looking for a producer, try to contact established producers. Don't let the fear of theft paralyze you, or you will never get anywhere with it.

In general, I don't feel artists should need producers.

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.

I used to have sort of mixed feelings about a producer whose only skills seemed to be going into the studio, schmoozing the artists and making them feel good. I can see now that in some cases, that's what you have to do because that's the only way you're going to get them to produce.

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

Most of the producers don't know what they do. The misconception of the producers' function is really not a misconception. Most producers don't do a very good job.
