Words matter. These are the best Marshall Herskovitz Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
The notion that moving toward renewable energy will kill jobs is an absurdity on its face. The notion that we have to live smaller lifestyles; not have the American way of life or give up the American Dream is just ridiculous. It is the opposite of the case; a new energy paradigm will create opportunity.
The producer is at the center of entertainment. The producer is being forgotten, and producers must seize the center of activity.
Our founding fathers could not have foreseen that freedom of the press might eventually be threatened just as much by media consolidation as by government.
Even the most brilliant accomplishments on the Internet are essentially cold. Google has changed the world, but you don’t snuggle up to it. YouTube is a giant carnival, filled with freaks and mountebanks, a place to gawk and laugh and get bored. Certainly not a place to feel anything.
The pilot system in television is utterly broken. It’s a huge waste of money.
In my personal belief, the big problem with climate change is getting people to understand the magnitude and scale that we’re dealing with. If you buy a vehicle that gets 35 miles to the gallon, that means nothing; it’s not enough. We need to make changes across society and in every piece of the energy pie.

Remember: the ratings system is a voluntary infringement of First Amendment rights, an uneasy bargain between the needs of parents, the needs of artists, and the needs of large media corporations to make profits. Any time we chip away at the First Amendment, we should at least do it with some reverence.
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.
Hey, if I had my choice for social engineering, I’d declare an automatic R-rating for any movie that depicts television commercials. There’s a truly dangerous influence on our children.
