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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
And I may often question choices I make as a producer. But I've never questioned the choices I make as a director.
I get along great with directors, but I think some producers would tell you I'm a pain. They may say I'm tough to work with, but I have a great passion for what I do. I believe in fighting for it.
On various shows, I've been the producing-director, the executive producer-director; and if you were working with the material you love with the right group of people, it's an incredible job to be doing.
I've worked with a lot of directors who really don't have a sense of what the hell they want.
I guess I like a lot of directors. Or at least I try to.
On every movie I've done as a director, I look at the producers and having done it, I don't envy them, at all.
If I'm going to produce something, it's going to be with somebody I think is special. Once I go beyond a handful of directors, like Scorsese, there are very few I want to work with.
As a producer, I probably am a little stronger than most, since I was a director originally.
I'm attracted to directors in general because I appreciate the work and the job they have to do. I watched the post-production, I watched the pre-production... post-production is something that I'm very interested in and I did spend a lot of time in editing rooms when I was young pretending to be sick.
I had just had small parts in other films, and I'd worked with a lot of directors in TV.
