A Quote by Marshall Herskovitz
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.

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."
