You're in the business - when you're a writer, producer, director - to get ratings.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a writer; I'm a producer. I've certainly spread myself over a lot of different careers.
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'm not a writer, director or producer.
I don't make my living writing; I make my living as a producer and as a director.
Let me tell you about being executive producer. It is not a job, it's a title. Don't go around asking executive producers what they do because they don't do anything, alright?
And I may often question choices I make as a producer. But I've never questioned the choices I make as a director.
Now I'm kind of established as a director, I much prefer directing to writing.
Ultimately, I am very filmmaker oriented, as a producer.
I think I am a writer, but professionally I feel drawn to and suited for directing.
The beauty about being a producer is you sit there, and you explore ideas which become a passion, which slowly becomes a reality.
