I think a lot of people who watch TV don't realize when they're watch TV shows and it says 'produced by' and producer, producer... there are all these producers. What the hell does a producer do? It's funny how much you have to worry about as a producer.

Demetri Martin

I love being a producer, and I think I essentially still operate as a producer even though I now have control of marketing and the ability to green-light shows - something every producer wants but that they don't get!

David Nevins

I always believed in curating content, and the only way to do in our country is by turning producer. So then, I thought, lets turn producer and see how it goes.

Vikrant Massey

I have always wanted to make a movie, in fact I always wanted to direct someday. But I never thought I would be a producer.

Dia Mirza

A producer gets the whole vision done from top to bottom, to making the record to having the record delivered to the world. That's a producer.

DJ Khaled

I don't think there's any show that really escapes it: It's very rare that a creative producer stays with the show. As soon as the producer leaves, they cut the budget.

Edward Albert

The producer can put something together, package it, oversee it, give input. I'm the kind of producer that likes to take a back seat and let the director run with it. If he needs me, I'm there for him. As a director, I like to have the producer there with me. As a producer, I don't want to be there because I happen to be a director first and foremost, I don't want to "that guy."

Brett Ratner

You always have to remember in this business that the public doesn't care about us. It's very important to keep that in mind. If there is a public perception at all, they see the producer as a big old guy who smokes a cigar and has lots of money and lots of power. That's not what a producer is and, if it ever was what a producer was, it certainly hasn't been for a long time.

Marshall Herskovitz

I was not, and am not, officially a producer of that film [I am love] but the work of what a producer does I learned at that stage and to a certain extent I've been a producer ever since.

Tilda Swinton

I'm not a full-fledged producer, but I can be one if I want to really spend my time on straight being a producer.

E-40

For me able to do the records I want to do and not have to worry about this producer or that producer or that trend, I'm not really interested in that.

Brian McKnight

If there is a public perception at all, they see the producer as a big old guy who smokes a cigar and has lots of money and lots of power. That's not what a producer is and, if it ever was what a producer was, it certainly hasn't been for a long time.

Marshall Herskovitz

Jerry Bruckheimer really is an executive producer, who obviously is the most successful producer in the history of film and television.

Dylan McDermott

That's really important in a producer - a producer that can step up and play a keyboard, play a bass, play a guitar, and help you with things instead of just saying, 'I think this could be better.'
