I hire a lot of hosts, reporters, producers, and I hire people who care about the news.

As an actor, I have casting issues. I’m a minority. I don’t have trouble making a living, but as far as being on the food chain of the pecking order of actors, I’m not at the top of it. With the jobs that I do, there are always control issues with directors and producers.
I’m willing to fail, my producers are willing to fail, my crew is willing to fail.
I was doing this children’s theater play, and it was non-Equity. We were out of town to do it at the Kennedy Center, and it was always kind of, ‘Well, the producers may have to turn this into Equity,’ and that’s what happened. It was kind of a silly children’s theater play, but that’s how I got my card.
There seem to be more women producers than men.

The more shows that are produced, the more writers are hired, producers are hired, actors are hired, directors are hired, it means the more people will get employed. It’s better for the economy. It’s a fantastic thing.
I encountered producers who wanted to hang out after we worked, and when I refused, they wouldn’t let me come back and work again… I would’ve have way more opportunities if I had succumbed. But it never felt right. I always felt like I was going to be successful, and I didn’t want to compromise my morals.
I knew from the first episode that ‘Longmire’ was something special – I met the writers/exec producers, read the script, and knew it was special, so to have the network and the studio and the fans get behind it in the way that they have has been really amazing.

I’ve been in the studio experimenting on making a CD of my own. I’m trying out different producers, styles, sounds. With music, as opposed to acting, you are not playing a character. You are showing people who you are. I really want to have my spirit in it.
I don’t stay in my trailer. I like to sit in video village, probably to the annoyance of some producers and directors, because they really love to talk about actors, and they can’t in front of me.
Since childhood, I’d dreamed of making a film, but producers in France and Germany wanted to make commercial films with chinoiserie. I refused.
I love America. I eagerly became a citizen. I have no bitterness toward those casting directors who dismissed me because of my accent, nor toward the producers and directors who wanted to cast me but thought the audience wouldn’t accept my accent. I think they’re selling their audience short.
I have years of saying ideas that are not listened to. Then, weeks after, of producers finding out that I was right when some other guy comes in and says it. Sometimes I just tell my idea to my editor or to some other guy with maybe gray hair to share it, and then it’s brilliant!
I could not do Satyajit Ray’s ‘Kanchenjunga’ because I had already committed the daters he wanted to shoot on to other producers.
I like hearing from everybody and not just my co-screenwriters or producers. For example, while on set, I find it valuable to turn to my PA and ask, ‘What do you think? Is this scene working? Do you like what you see? You got any ideas for that line there because that idea isn’t working for me.’
At the beginning of ‘Friends,’ Matt LeBlanc was anxious. Every time he did something, he would look for approval to the director, the producers or the writers if they were around. There would be a look of: ‘Am I doing this right?’

I followed this one pig with number ‘05049,’ all the way up until the end and to what products it’s made of. And in these years, I met all kinds people like, for instance, farmers and butchers, which seems logical. But I also met aluminum mold makers, ammunition producers and all kinds of people.

Definitely, I feel that there is a need for more female producers, directors, and writers.

The producers and writers of dance music are becoming the stars, not so much the DJs.

I don’t work for the commercial success of the film. I work to satisfy my producers who give me the money. I work to satisfy the director who has written a script for me. Of course, I have to satisfy the actor in me, but I want to satisfy them first.

Working on ‘Laguna’ was great because just being in production and shooting stuff and having to go back and relive some things, and there were some lines here and there that the producers would want us to say, and just kind of, you’re forced to recreate moments, and just working on the show was so much fun.
I know, it’s weird that I’ve never done a musical. I turned down two of them. ‘The Lion King’ and ‘The Producers.’ I turned two of the biggest Broadway musicals down, am I a mess?
Usually, new producers and writers want to put their stamp on a show. They don’t want to continue what’s working. They want to reinvent the wheel. It’s an ego thing.

‘Strictly Sinatra’ became a compromise between me and the producers, and neither of us liked the results much.
A screenwriter heard me read from my novel ‘The Wishbones’ when it was still in progress and mentioned me to some producers in Hollywood.

In the best of all worlds, the producers would take some responsibility for the kinds of things they’re putting out. Unfortunately, they don’t.

I’ve literally been in sessions with producers, writing for other people, and they’re like, ‘We need a song for this artist, and we need it to sound like this song.’ They’re literally saying, ‘Rip off this song that was no. 1 last week,’ and that’s just so uninspiring.
A lot people don’t know that Mannie Fresh is one of my favorite producers because I used to just be fascinated with how he would be producing stuff. He’d be silly, too, when he raps.

I’m not in the movie business anymore, and hardly any 70 year olds are. I always ask the producers: ‘Are there no 70-year old vampires?’ Apparently there are not – or even zombies for that matter. I guess they all get eaten.
For too long, the producers of non-dairy beverages, such as almond and soy products, have unfairly benefited from the ability to label their products as milk.

The producers of ‘The Hobbit’ take the welfare of all animals very seriously and have always pursued the highest standard of care for animals in their charge.

There are loads of kids out there who haven’t got a clue what ‘Men Behaving Badly’ was; it was such a long time ago. So I’m able to spread my wings a little bit more. I was able to do it on stage over the years. Most directors and producers don’t know who I am these days, anyway!
The problem is that to be a producer, one must be a gambler, and the greatest French producers were gamblers.
I had to beg to get out of my contract with Capitol. They wanted me to work with big producers. I wanted to produce my music, and they weren’t having that. I’m sure they were happy to let me go. I just didn’t want to do what they wanted me to do.
The less subsidy we have, the more the ‘producers’ take over, and the ‘bottom line’ becomes the raison d’etre. That’s quite an unappealing landscape for artists.
When you have filmmakers like Justin Simien, writers, producers, actresses like Lena Waithe, who are people of color, they’re creating their own content and saying, ‘You know what? We’re not going to wait on someone else to tell our story. We’re going to do it ourselves. You can be a part of it or not.’
I see what other people do and what songwriters don’t. They don’t get out and take care of themselves. Producers turn themselves into a massive brand. Songwriters tend to be under someone else’s umbrella. If you’re building your own legacy, it can’t be under an umbrella.
A list songwriters and producers are reluctant to give Kesha their songs because of her weight.

I think the French and the Japanese are both obsessed by seasons, small producers, freshness.
When we think about big records, a lot of producers are thinking of how to make it as standard as possible. I think those days are gone. I think you have to surprise the audience in 2015.

Writing was something that came easily to me and there’s so many great producers who just teach you so much.
I was pampered by all my father’s directors and producers during childhood. But at home, my father made sure I led a normal life.
I have a lot of respect for, always dig, the crew. Sometimes a lot more than the cast. But a good run production team is paramount to making a good film. You just can’t it done without a good line producer, without creative producers, without people who are making stuff happen.
To you people out there, you producers and you network owners and you agents and you creative sparks, please give transgender talent a chance. Give them auditions. Give them their story. Do that.

And ‘Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll’ was a very transitional film for me in that I was one of the producers and you know, came up with the idea with the writer and the producer, as well. But, it was a very collaborative event. You know, I really love working in that way.
Kanye is one of my favorite producers and artists.
We’re in the same company as 2NE1 and we get our songs from the same producers, so the influence is natural. Since they’ve done a lot of things before us, we want to emulate them. But at the same time, we hope there will soon be an opportunity to show our own unique color. We want to succeed with our own unique color.
The relationship with producers has always, in my experience, been, uhhh – tense. Challenging. But the actors and crew become like family. You’re there all those hours – more than on a movie. You come to depend on each other.

When the EPA says that property owners, farmers, and livestock producers must stomach higher costs, longer delays, and bigger headaches, it’s up to Congress to put up a roadblock.

I want to work with producers who are unique and have a different sound.
Sometimes you get the luxury of having a script for a really long time, and you can get to talk with the director or the producers, and evolve with the role.
At 21, right out of college, I had two producers, about my age, who had never produced a show before, and they wanted me to write and produce an hour-long show before I turned 22. Which is a whole lot of work for someone who’s just an ‘airhead.’

I think if you contribute to a job, and it’s repeated and repeated, and sold over the world, and the producers are making millions, you should benefit from it.
Journalists ask me all the time, ‘Akshay, do you believe in the numbers game?’ My standard response: ‘I can’t count, that’s why I have producers and accountants who calculate for me. As long as I have them in my life, I don’t need to worry about numbers!’
The Fox News that I know and work in is a team of producers, technicians, photographers, truck operators and production managers who barely have time to eat lunch, much less engage in bad behavior.

I actually became a producer because I saw the producers getting all the babes. They were stealing them from the guitarists.
I work with a bunch of producers on every album, but the difference for ‘Evolver’ was that I couldn’t get any time with Kanye. I forget what he was doing at the time, but he was all over the place. We were never at the same city at the same time.
I certainly hope that we will get more women in power, when it comes to executives and producers and directors, because the problem is not a shortage of females who are qualified to do the job. It’s just that women are not favoured or chosen.
The more producers I talked to, the more I got looked at like I was crazy for wanting to make a live-sounding album.
It took me years to live down Dracula and convince the film producers that I would play almost any other type of role.
I don’t like begging money from producers.
Ian Fleming was my cousin, and he wanted me to play Dr. No, but by the time he got around to remembering to tell the producers, they’d already cast someone else. Spilt milk!
When I was very young, around 11 or 12, when I started actually meeting people, trying to get work, I had to meet producers, directors but I didn’t have the platform.
In my opinion, the BBC are one of the best producers of drama in the world, and it made me incredibly happy to get the opportunity to be one of the leading men in one of their productions.
There’s talk of the lack of roles for older women. It’s so tough and it’s soul-destroying what some female actors do to their faces to try and keep producers happy.
That said, we don’t approach these improvements as only a surface aesthetic. The producers and we think that these men are helped with their inner needs when they pay attention to their externals.
Well, I think one of the problems with ‘Birds of Prey’ was there were too many cooks in that kitchen. The studio, the producers, the network, all had very different visions of what that should be. They should have just let Laeta Kalogridis control that. Instead they decided to try to get their hands in the mix.
I asked the producers when I was doing ‘Y Tu Mama Tambien’ if they could give me a VHS recording of the film that I could show to my family, because in Mexico and Latin America, when you do a film, you don’t expect anybody to see it, especially not in the cinema.
In general, I don’t feel artists should need producers.
For directors and producers, you’re not going to get competent performers on your set if they didn’t start at a young age and understand professionalism.
Changes are required as far as scripts are concerned. People need to open up and experiment in story lines. But we don’t have good script writers, producers or directors. The Punjabi industry lacks cinema knowledge and professionalism. It is the saddest part.
I’m opposed to censorship of any kind, especially by government. But it’s plain common sense that producers should target their product with some kind of sensitivity.
More customers for Canadian oil means that Canadian producers can charge more for their oil, which then means that American businesses and consumers will pay more for oil.
Most of my friends in Nashville – almost all of them – seem to have had hits in the ’70s, either as artists or songwriters or producers.
India needs better producers than screenwriters. No producer wants to invest in out-of-the way scripts.
I’ve worked with producers who have told me to lose weight, and I’m not overweight, but they want you to look strange, anorexic, horrible. It’s odd. It’s like they are exerting a power over women, that they want them to look really frail.
Casting me as King Arthur was quite bold of ‘Spamalot’s producers, although it has been historically proved Arthur was Asian, and that Sunday trading started with Asians in 11th-century Britain.
The producers, the creators, and the cast, we recognize that ‘Hamilton’ is an inherently American story told by the definition of an American community; we are men and women of different colors, creeds, and orientations.
Soaps are a double-edged sword. There can be prejudice from some writers and producers who feel you will lower the currency of their work if you’ve been in one. You have to rise above such ludicrous prejudice.
Sometimes you have producers tell you ‘I’m a huge fan, I’m a huge fan.’ But David Guggenheim, I have so much love for this dude.
The KXL pipeline would make it easy and cost effective for oil producers in Canada to transport oil to the Gulf of Mexico where it could be shipped to customers – not just in the United States – but around the world.
I was never a villain on the stage. I always played strong, sympathetic types. My first stage role with a speaking part, believe it or not, was as a priest. It wasn’t until I began acting in films that the producers and directors saw me primarily as a bizarre villain.
The beautiful thing about art is that there’s always somewhere to go. There’s always something new to explore and, as an artist, that’s just what I want to do. I wanna keep exploring new things with different directors with different producers and different styles and tones.
I’ve watched songwriters, writers, producers, even artists that I’ve written hits for come and go. But to the world, it looked like Justin Bieber was my first success.
You can take wonderfully talented actors, wonderfully talented writers and producers, and, uh, do a wonderful show!… but if it doesn’t hit with the public in two minutes, it’s bye-bye.
When producers and directors were courting Sivaji Ganesan, MGR directed and produced ‘Nadodi Mannan’ and showed that he can do it alone. He created history and stood his ground against one of the best actors in history, Sivaji Ganesan.
At a time when nobody thought we’d ever see a new steel mill built in America, we took a chance and built one in a corn field in Indiana. Today Steel Dynamics is one of the largest steel producers in the United States.
There’s so much control, so many executive producers, so many people looking over their shoulder, so many people trying to second-guess the boss. The space for writers and directors and actors to be creative is zilch.
What producers did was mostly recording in the studio, so it never changed our sound just that much.
Along the way, I’ve had different advice from different music producers. I’ve been told to tone it down, that the quiet parts of my voice are appealing and there’s harshness to the loud part of my voice.
I can honestly say that the fans inspire. There’s an unexplainable rush that comes when I’m in the middle of a set and the energy from the fans hit me. I also get really inspired through collaborations. I’ve learned so much from the emerging producers I’ve worked with just as they’ve learned from me.
I’ve been working with a lot of different producers.
Every single discussion I have with a first AD, or producers, is time of day. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve fought for early-morning calls. The light is 90 percent of our job; we as humans respond to light and where it is at different times of day and not only in positive ways.
Well, ‘Crunk Rock’ doesn’t mean rock. Initially when I started the album, I did collaborate with a bunch of rock musicians and producers. But as I started to have time to free my mind and catch different vibes, it started to mean something different.
The first thing is that we’re being attacked by both the Writers Guild and the Producers Guild. Both of these groups are trying to diminish the importance and strength of the director. They’re trying to do it through both frontal and side attacks.
‘Maaligai,’ where I play a dual role of a cop and a princess, initially was to be made as a Kannada movie. My producers from Mumbai and director Dil Sathya felt that it should be made as a bilingual in Tamil also, as I have a good market in K’town.
I played Big Brother in a Studio One presentation of ‘1984,’ and that should have marked me as a villain to American producers. But I went straight from that to placing a saint – St, Peter in ‘The Silver Chalice,’ which may have been one of the worst movies ever made.
Other writers, producers, and directors of low-budget films would often put down the film they were making, saying it was just something to make money with. I never felt that. If I took the assignment, I’d give it my best shot.
Most producers who want you to dance are not looking at the long term. They see their evenings, the box office, whom they have to repay, whatever.
There are certain things producers ask you to do, and when I was starting out, I said yes to everything. I was asked, for ‘Quo Vadis,’ to drive a chariot. I said, ‘Oh yes. I’m licenced for all vehicles.’ Two days later, I was sitting in this dustbin with two very aggressive horses. I didn’t stay in it for long.
For ‘Filth,’ we had about 12 producers on the thing. The opening credits go on for months. Most of them are actually financers rather than producers. And the only way that we could raise the budget without interference from a studio was to have a lot of different financers on board.
Jokes apart, people are constantly asking me, ‘What are you doing for the industry?’ When one makes a blockbuster, you plough back money into the industry. If my film makes 100 crore, I’m not taking the entire sum home! It gets distributed between the exhibitors, distributors, producers and actors.
Tariffs have almost never saved a domestic industry from decline and, often times, by sheltering domestic producers from competition, only reward and prolong bad business practices.
‘The Alesha Show’ was done with production crew Xenomania, and this time, I’ve worked with a lot of upcoming new producers.
When I broke up with Eric B., I went on a little hiatus. Then all I was trying do is find producers. It’s real hard, man.
I am thankful to my fans and producers that I am on my toes all the time to do better. The day you feel you have achieved it all or you are something, then you are gone, and that thought never came to me.
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?
There are two types of films – one made by the big-time producers, the other is low budget stuff made by some producers who make films for the heck of it, they complete their films for small amounts, sell it at low costs with almost no publicity.
When you do a movie in the studio system, there’s a committee. A committee of six or seven people you answer to. There’s two or three producers, a studio executive and one or two people above that studio executive.
I went from basically filming in my bedroom by myself, filming some funny videos, and then overnight, I switched into filming in some studios and some warehouses and family homes. I started filming with directors and producers and editors, and there were so many people in the room, so it was definitely weird.
I think producers are more interested in backing concepts than directors and writers. I don’t think that’s the right way of making a decision about whether you’re going to back a film or not.
There are so many directors who don’t like any kind of interaction on set except for producers. I am the opposite.
I’m interested in colour-blind hiring of directors, producers, and writers. Go to the source. Then we won’t need to have conversations about colour-blind casting.
With my classical training and coming from a metal band, producers didn’t know what to expect. I like to shock people, though.
That’s one of my pet peeves, that big guys apparently don’t have an I.Q. above 50 in the eyes of audiences and producers.
I can’t change what casting directors do or what producers do. I can only change what I do.
You had to knock the doors of the great directors and producers; of course I needed the work and was desperate for work. I remember one of the producers saying, we have R.D. Burman, we have Laxmikant-Pyarelal, we’ve got Kalyanji-Anandji with us, why should we take you?’
I am lucky, that is all. Lucky because there are a lot of people – producers, directors, people who buy tickets – who put confidence in me.
For ‘Hey Monday,’ there were songs that I co-wrote with songwriters or producers, but our last EP, the whole band did everything together. I’ve had a lot of experience with co-writes, which is basically what I’m doing now. I am writing things on my own, but I really believe co-writing makes you a better writer.
The levels of poverty in 1933’s rural America were unimaginable to us now. The 1933 Farm Bill, which introduced unprecedented government control over agriculture, was a reaction to the specific problems facing producers at that time.
When I want to make a creative work, I still have producers of marketing houses dictating to me how I should make a creative video and what sells! If I face that problem, I can imagine how difficult it must be for the rising generation of artistes to find sponsorships.
Often, American audiences are underestimated by producers and movie studios. They often think we’re dumber than we are.
In England, there’s a lot of people producing their own work and becoming producers and filmmakers, so they’re not constantly waiting around. It can be very scarce for work, so it’s important to create the work.
It’s hard being a woman in this industry, period. A lot of the time, guys make you feel like you need to hook up with them – especially as an artist – producers and other artists trying to collaborate with them, they make you kinda feel sometimes you need to hook up with them or flirt with them just to make a song.
At a time when U.S. jobs are heading overseas at a record pace, and amidst increased sanctions on our manufacturers and producers from other countries, it’s imperative that we do all we can to provide our businesses a climate to operate successfully.
When I did my first Hindi film, ‘Sargam,’ I had to play a dumb girl. Critics went to town saying that since I was a south Indian and didn’t know how to speak Hindi, producers of the movie decided to make me play dumb.
The Producers Guild represents the creativity, innovation and dynamism that sets our industry apart from all others.
Directors, producers can make you look good or make you look bad.
I think most producers and MCs are constantly in this competition, but it’s usually with yourself. It’s usually wanting to be innovative: wanting to catch yourself when you’re doing the same thing or throwing out the same art you’ve already done.
It’s funny – some producers ask me, ‘Man, how do you work on a Bieber record? That would kill my career.’ I can work on any record there is as long as they are good records and you’re pushing things forward.
As a director, I’ve wanted to have adventure in my life, creative adventure. I think it’s partly because I grew up, basically from age six to 26, mostly on television series where the producers find something that works and then do it over and over and over again.
I don’t think the subject of a documentary film should be producers on it.
I never had any problem with my producers or directors.
Our role as producers is mainly limited to borrowing money from friends when we run short of cash.
For me, I always had producers come to me with films, even if it was not like the Khans, but whatever I have got I have tried to give my best to it.
A lot of producers cookie cut movies one after another, but I’ll be a little more careful, and have the opportunity to be, because I have the acting career to subsidize the producing.
I’ve just gained so much confidence in the booth since the ‘Sit Still Look Pretty’ era. I’m working with really talented producers and songwriters who bring out the best in me.
Instead of giving all your best tracks to artists, producers now have the opportunity where we can take our favorite beats we make and put our favorite artists on them and release fun songs for people to listen to.
As producers, you always have to go with the flow and be ready to embrace change, and drama and whatever happens.
I’ve had lengthy discussions with European farm leaders. It is clear they have an agricultural strategy to support their producers and gain dominance in world agricultural trade. They’re gaining markets the old-fashioned way – they’re buying them.
When I walked in to read with Edie Falco, it was nice, because I auditioned in New York, and it was very quick. You walk in, there’s Edie, the producers, the director, and a camera. I read three scenes, and it was done.
It is nice to be out there, amongst contemporaries on a global scale. You meet different people, see different things, meet different producers, eventually grow to collaborate in different ways. The world is getting smaller. It’s nice not to be insular.
If Rajamouli is the brain and heart of ‘Baahubali,’ the producers are its skeleton, holding everything together, and the fans are the blood. Rajamouli deserves all the laurels, but he’s so modest that he diverts all of it towards his team.
As producers, we can influence where the budget goes, but only the director really controls what tone, what type of movie you are trying to make.
‘The Producers’ is my favorite movie, and my favorite performances of all time are Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder, and I feel like I strive to be a combination of those two guys.
I don’t understand how other producers who have no experience making a musical jump in and produce one.
Most people when they rap usually have their homies in the studio who rap with ’em, but they homies don’t usually be producers.
There are a lot of producers who basically have their sound, and if the artist works with them, you almost know what the record’s going to sound like before it comes out.
A franchise gives a sense of security to everyone – the director, producers, exhibitors, and even the audience feels that they are watching something close to the first part.
If someone tried to take the hierarchy thing too seriously – for example, being lovely to producers but moaning to runners about the tea – that would not be accepted on ‘Harry Potter’; someone would pull you aside and have a word.
I spend a lot of time talking to young and emerging producers on Twitter, feeding back thoughts and encouraging them.
The only time producers fed me lines on ‘Laguna Beach’ were more fake phone calls or pickup scenes. We’d film for nine months out of the year, and then they would start cutting episodes together, and they would realize that they needed a specific scene.
I have an amazing team; I have amazing producers; I have amazing writers, but at the end of it, it’s me making the decisions on the writing, the tone, the editing.
I owe much of my success to Seann Walsh. He kept recommending me for Live At The Apollo until eventually the producers offered me a gig.
I’ll never get sick of zombies. I just get sick of producers.
Making African American films are hard in Hollywood. We need to rely on a support network and bring more cohesion to different filmmakers, actors, producers etc. It’s a very difficult business. There aren’t a lot of Africans Americans or people of color in high positions in Hollywood that we can green-light films.
‘Hellraiser’ was what ‘Hellraiser’ was. It was a $900k movie, and there wasn’t anything I would have done differently. But ‘Nightbreed’ was taken away from me. It was thought that its meaning wasn’t… Its meaning didn’t chime with the producers.
I thought that the fashion world could be a bit fake sometimes, but it’s nothing compared to Hollywood. These girls would walk over their grandmothers’ graves to get a part, and the producers talk about actresses like they’re dirt, picking over every part of them so that they end up paranoid and having surgery.
One likes at the point of production to realize the maximum value, and diamond producers are no different.
I’m re-teaming with the producers of ‘Twilight,’ whom I love and who I have an amazing relationship with.
It is very difficult to convince producers about a script without having the backing of a star.
Producers have a tendency to put you in a pigeonhole: ‘What does this white, middle-aged preppy know about 1960s Kingston?’
When you want to make a film abroad, you need producers and people who support you. You need a team that speaks your language.
Sports like sailing, rowing, and bobsled have long vexed spectators and television producers.
For a producer, you want to be in L.A. You want to be close to the action, and in L.A. there are always singers, artists, songwriters, collaborators and other producers. It’s easy to get access to all that, which gives you more opportunity to work records.
One of my producers said this business is like a hamster on that little wheel thing that goes around and around. You may have a great day and get great ratings, but then you’ve got another show to do – whatever moment of success or happiness you have you’ve got to keep grinding it out for the next day.
I don’t use producers, I am the producer. I use an engineer as a tool, vicariously.
I didn’t knock on any producers’ doors for work.
The truth is, for some absurd reason, no one is willing to admit that the interests of the producers and the theater owners are not the same.
For some producers who are technical-minded, making the song sound good is easy, and getting the emotion into the song is harder.
Because of ‘The Birds’ and ‘Marnie’ I was, as the expression goes, hot in Hollywood and producers and directors wanted to hire me.
I never played politics, I was never a party girl, and I never slept with any of the producers.
I had to take over the reins of the company at a time when I did not know a thing about the business. The producers who were committed to work with my father wanted to back out because they felt I would not be able to sell their film’s music the way my father did.
There’s actually a lot of producers that I like to listen to.
The ‘Degrassi’ producers were very supportive. They sent me flowers when I got ‘The Vampire Diaries,’ and then as soon as it premiered and got the great numbers that it did, I got another large bouquet of flowers from them.
I don’t want to criticize any other designers, but I have to say that many of the people involved in this industry – directors and producers – are trying to make their games more like movies. They are longing to make movies rather than making videogames.
There is no good reason for our cattle producers to have such limited market access. Our beef is the best in the world, and we need to be allowed to reach global markets.
I have to work with the team at Blizzard and the producers on the film and convince them that, as a fan, I have a unique and hopefully entertaining way of taking people through the first contact story, which is really what sets up ‘Warcraft’ for everyone else.
When American producers see my film, they think that I had a big budget to do it, like 23 million. But in fact I had 10 percent of that budget. I did ‘Mars et Avril’ for only 2.3 million.
I think the days of working with producers in the conventional sense are over for me.
As the producers of ‘Unplanned’ learned, there is no article of faith so central to Hollywood as abortion.
Your intention going in is to do the best you can. You go in and do your work, day to day, the best you can. But it’s entirely up to the director and the editor and the producers and the studio how it turns out.
Unfortunately, the author of a book pretty much gives up control of the story when the producers take over a book to make it into a movie.
I was the girl that didn’t go to prom or my graduation because I was too busy working with producers and making music.
I don’t think content matters at all. Content won’t matter unless it matters to the stars. Producers are helpless people… They don’t dictate or guide content. It is dictated purely by stars.
I’m interested in bridging and filling in space that hasn’t already been filled, so when it comes to making music, I’ve just always wanted to be able to reference things that producers in the big pop major label context do, without compromising the entire sound of the record.
The early 1990s was a time of great advancements in precooked bacon technology. Pork producers, food labs, and agricultural schools such as Iowa State University began investing substantially in precooked R&D.
For every film that I have believed in – from ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ to ‘Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein’ – it was very difficult to find producers.
I really didn’t even pick producers. I just picked beats, except for Dre – he’s the only producer I knew I wanted to work with.
I wanted to just surround myself with people who I think are better than I am, whether they’re actors or directors or producers, so that I could learn from them.
I want to be remembered as one of the best record producers of my era.
There are a lot of incredible producers out there. But that doesn’t mean when you get in the studio that the vibe is right and that it’s a fun experience, and you can trust people, and just have a good time.
Good acting is about being as natural and calm as possible. These days producers have such definite ideas that you have to be prepared to do whatever they ask.
I would love to play Hansaa again if somebody offers me that role. In fact, I have been pleading with the producers of ‘Khichdi’ to bring that show back.
All my career, I’ve said this: Critics and producers think audiences want actors that only present the silhouette and hit the points in the silhouette. What I do is too dangerous.
The music industry is dominated by guys. I work with men 98 percent of the time – producers, arrangers, musicians, engineers.
Producers are so much better-educated in issues related to terrorism.
The top five producers that I have a creative chemistry with are Swizz Beatz, The Alchemist, Vinny Idol, Pharrell and Timbaland.
I talk periodically with the producers at EA and I try to be as honest as possible because as great as EA does, you just don’t want to hear good things. These people are really passionate about making games and making them as realistic as possible.
I will always be a relentless advocate for our farmers, producers, and our way of life.
I’ve learned a lot of tricks from working with a lot of great producers over the years, and I think I should write a book about it!
Frequently producers have partners that they never let the public know about.
When I listen to scripts, I never ask who my co-star is – instead, I ask about the characters and the producers of the particular venture.
We will accelerate our land redistribution program not only to redress a grave historical injustice but also to bring more producers into the agricultural sector and to make more land available for cultivation.
TV journalism is a much more collaborative, horizontal business than print reporting. It has to be, because of the logistics. Anchors are wholly dependent on producers to do all the hustling.
Well, the film industry is completely sexist and completely class-biased. It’s not something I get on the ground level, it’s more from financiers and producers and distributors. It’s a way of dealing with you that is essentially patronising: I know better than you.
Ultimately, Bollywood producers only think of one thing: Who is saleable.
I take pride in being one of the most successful producers in hip-hop history, having the most successful record in hip-hop history, I have the most number ones.
I love music with my soul, but I’m also a student of it, so it’s very important to me to earn the respect of my peers, my fellow musicians and producers.
There’s a lot of pressure on Broadway. There’s this feeling that the show has to be a commercial success and the producers have to make their money back and Tonys and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
If not for the producers’ conviction in me, I wouldn’t have had the faith to pull off ‘Prince.’
Back then, it was more or less we couldn’t change a line in our script. We weren’t allowed to change lines. Today, actors change everything and won’t do parts. It’s very different today. Back then, the producers were in charge. Today actors are more in charge.
The use of pirated software in China is really quite a sizeable loss to our software producers.
Directing the television serial, ‘Thoda Sa Aasman,’ was a good learning experience and I can empathize better with producers.
Some of the best art in the world is collaborative, a mix of voices that are stronger together than separate. Take the Beatles, for example. Or every great movie ever made. We like to say they’re the director’s vision, but really, they’re huge collaborations between directors, writers, actors, even producers.
Almost all the producers I know and dig, like Quincy Jones or Brian Eno, are really musicians first. I’m a composer, an orchestrator, an arranger and a musician first. I know how to write and rewrite songs, and the genius is really in the rewriting.
The whole action of the laws tended to increase the number of consumers of food and to diminish the number of producers, was due the invention of the Malthusian theory of population.
The roster of ‘Lucha Underground’ would definitely be excited about a fifth season. Same thing with the producers and everybody.
I don’t like to tell my age. Not because of vanity, but because in 10 years when I look 37, producers will think I’m too old for some parts.
Some writers and producers are currently writing a sitcom for me, so we’ll see what happens there. I’m somewhat reluctant to talk about some of the upcoming projects that I’m working on; I’ve a lot of stuff on the go, including five pictures that I’m looking at producing.
The ‘Degrassi’ producers were very supportive. They sent me flowers when I got ‘The Vampire Diaries,’ and then as soon as it premiered and got the great numbers that it did, I got another large bouquet of flowers from them. Every time I go back to Toronto, I see them and hang out with them.
I can read a crowd pretty well. I know what to play and know how to keep it interesting for them and for myself as well. Most of the other DJs are more like producers so they become famous because they make hits and then they start DJ-ing. But I’m more from the other way around.
I need to thank my director, producers, and artists as well crew members of all my projects.
It took a long time to get out of my contract. The producers thought I was negotiating for more money.
I lived by the motto, ‘If you don’t flirt, you die.’ And flirt I did. I flirted with all women, be they actresses, producers, or 80-year-old grandmothers. I even flirted with those who were out of bounds, like the wives of some of my best friends, which especially revolts me.
I think it’s good that producers are showing more ways to show their artistry and be more the artist, you know? Not just the producer in the back making the beats.
‘The Walking Dead’ producers are really in touch, and appreciative, of their viewers.
I do not like people writing songs and then other people singing them. A lot of people don’t even sing their own songs anymore. It’s like producers these days have ghost producers; ‘I don’t produce, but I am a producer.’
When I joined Bollywood, I too wanted decent and challenging roles but there were no offers. Directors and producers look at me as a woman who is willing to expose and that is the only reason they want to sign me.
A lot of producers and creative types want to see you be you. Throw something else out there and show them where you would take this part. A lot of them are launching shows for the first time, so they’ve got a lot riding on this, too, and they want you to be their flight.
If I want to be a leading man in a film, box office numbers count because producers have invested money. I see no wrong in that process.
We’re going to see a lot of companies that have been portals of entertainment become producers.
When I work on a movie, I look at the script or watch the film, and I talk to my director or producers and make a plan: this is our main character; we need a theme for this plot. We need a love theme.
Soaring prices for crude oil, falling production surpluses, wild speculation in commodities, a rush into the precious metals, turmoil in the Middle East, assertive oil producers: it is 1973-74 all over again, and at dictation speed.
My daughter is one of the associate producers on two shows for Disney. I am really proud of her.
I have way more freedom in Los Angeles and in the U.S. But it’s funny because when I have a meeting with producers or people from the industry, we go to a restaurant to meet someone, and nobody knows me. But all of the sudden, the entire kitchen comes out, and they start taking pictures with me, or at valet parking.
Usually, on Broadway or in Hollywood, you come up with a project, and you have to convince the producers that it’s safe.
I would say that the majority of the people I work with are Swedish, very unknown producers and writers but so talented.
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.
The producers probably won’t like this, but I always describe her as Peppermint Patty on acid.
I’d been playing Ted in the show for about a year as well as playing in the group in my spare time. Then, at the ‘Scrubs’ Christmas party, I offered to bring along the band to sing a song. The producers thought we were terrible – but perfect for the show.
Engineering producers who don’t play and have technology as a background may be the reason why there’s a lot of cold non-musical music, for lack of a better description.
Just as producers often give consumers things they want but didn’t think to ask for, consumers sometimes come up with surprising uses for new inventions. When a new product appears, it can uncover dissatisfactions and desires no one knew were there.
I’m glad Wu-Tang was able to inspire other producers and artists, but I would never want to be erased or removed.
There’s a lot of creativity in the industry, but I don’t necessarily think that the most creative DJs or producers are always the biggest ones.
Specificity is what makes good storytelling, and good storytelling is what makes money, and making money is then what encourages new producers to invest in different stories about Asians.
I worked with different producers from all genres, trying to bridge different styles of music, from urban to electronica to ballads.
There are certainly producers I hang with and directors I hang with and actors I hang with.
I thought I had played Ted for the last time when he left Sacred Heart Hospital to be with the love of his life. But the producers of ‘Cougar Town’ had other ideas.
It’s scary being in a room with producers and saying, ‘Here’s my idea,’ when I’m scared to get shot down.
I think women have always been funny. But when Tina Fey became head writer at ‘Saturday Night Live,’ the culture shifted, and women gained a bigger voice in comedy. It’s not as if Hollywood producers are feminists. It’s more that Hollywood said, ”Bridesmaids’ made us so much money, all we want now is funny women.’
There are so many songwriters that people don’t know about. There’s so many producers that people don’t know about.
I wanted to feel like an artist for once in my life. I wanted to use other producers for respect, to let them know that I listen to other people’s music and that I’m just not out here on my own page.
I went to see ‘Listen to My Heart: The Songs of David Friedman.’ I have been a fan of his music for years, and I was invited to opening night because I know one of the producers.
In the industry, artists of of color struggle the most. Caucasian artists have really solidified themselves in the industry, and with African Americans now we see directors and producers who vow to only produce work that shines a light on African American artists. But everybody in the middle gets lost.
People keep inventing all these new machines, and producers and recording engineers keep wanting to use them.
The type of contract between players and producers is, I feel, antiquated in form and abstract in concept. We have no privacies which producers cannot invade, they trade us like cattle, boss us like children.
I didn’t watch a film after the 1960s. I have no idea who all were the good heroes, directors or producers in the ’80s. The only film I watched after all those years was my own film.
You can expect to see us add several notable multifamily producers. We’re committed to the space. We’re attracted by the space. We have a strong offering, and we want to continue to build on it.
The Broadway community means the world. That goes for the actors, that goes for the crew, the producers, the writers, and most importantly, that goes for the fans. The Broadway community is one that I will always hold very near and very dear to me.
A lot of young producers will stay at home and make beats all day but making beats is only about 20 percent of the job. The other 80 percent is networking; that’s what I feel like a lot of people are lacking.
When I started as an assistant at ‘SNL,’ I got my eyes on Kristen Wiig and was able to bring her for an audition for Lorne Michaels and the other producers. Turns out, Kristen Wiig can give you some street cred early on.
The digital apocalypse continues to blight the lives of television producers, music-industry executives and newspaper publishers, all of whom are scrambling to figure out how to reconfigure their business models in such a way as to allow them to make an honest buck.
I guess the producers saw me and knew I was literate and I always tried to be alert and it’s funny because you have to have a sharpness to do those shows, especially some of the ones I did in later years.
I can’t be bullied by producers.
I’m the chairman of the board of the Actor’s Fund. It’s an incredible organization. It helps anybody that has made their living in the performing arts and entertainment: actors, singers, dancers, film producers, agents, managers, ticket takers, writers, anybody in times of need or crisis.
A lot of big whoever producers, they come with a song and they say, ‘Sing this,’ and I’m not that girl.
Civil rights icons, famous journalists, big-time movie producers may all have credits to their name that we can recognize and be grateful for, but their record of good works cannot excuse their harassment of women.
As producers, we choose who to work with and what films to get involved with. There’s no rule, but it has to come from an honest place. It has to come from a necessity.
Oh, I love making independent films, it’s such a special, magical thing because you collaborate with a small group of people and everyone’s pitching in. You’ll see producers setting up the lunch table and the sound guy driving a van. We’re all really there because we want to be.
I’m transitioning from being a starving artist. My producers had success outside of the Daniel Caesar brand, so they invested money, time and resources. They funded the first video, and a lot of other things that I’m so thankful for.
The management teams in these royalty and streaming companies have the highest-quality research and the most visibility into all of the producers. So if you really want to know what’s going on in the resource space, you should talk to the management team of a royalty company.
‘Superman’ was a total accident. The producers of the animated series were having a hard time finding someone to read the character. I was brought in through a connection and, I think, out of desperation.
The producer is at the center of entertainment. The producer is being forgotten, and producers must seize the center of activity.
It took the producers a while to realize I wanted a full-bodied life. I wanted to get out before I felt I’d sacrificed so much to get somewhere that I couldn’t afford to leave.
I like aiming for the producers who are hungry. I don’t chase the wave.
Aretha Franklin’s ‘Let Me in Your Life’ is one of the few recent R&B albums that places the emphasis entirely and deservedly on a voice. Many R&B producers have been making records on which the singer is outshined by the song, the arrangement and the sound.
When Matt LeBlanc had his show ‘Joey’, I strongly suggested to the producers that they should bring me on.
We’re always open to working with other writers, producers, and contributors for channelAPA. In hindsight, the goal is to develop our content and connect with people who have similar visions as we do.
After the release of ‘Ashta Chemm,’ several producers and directors came with similar roles in their films. But I doesn’t want to do stereo type roles and do something different for each film, and refused them.
Starbucks goes to a great effort, and pays twice as much for its coffee as its competitors do, and is very careful to help coffee producers in developing countries grow coffee without pesticides and in ways that preserve forest structure.
When you’re dealing with a bunch of different producers, you gotta make sure the chemistry fits.
It’s good to remind intelligence producers and consumers alike about the need to ‘warn of emerging conditions, trends, threats and opportunities’ and the potential for discontinuities.
I really like scripted dramas. My favorite show of all time would have to be ‘Lost’: I loved how the writers and producers were able to weave the different storylines together; and the acting in that show was incredible.
I’ve met producers who are Christians and are producing secular shows. So much beauty and truth can be found in every – in every different show that’s there.
So many American and international producers want to shoot in the U.K. because of our crew base and tax incentives.
Producers and directors think they have the power, but what they think of as the weakest link, the actor, is all-powerful.
My childhood friends and I would have been featured in ‘The Achievers: The Story of the Big Lebowski Fans,’ but I never signed the release form we received from the producers. I am both proud and ashamed of this fact.
You can write ten versions of a scene, and then, on the day, discover that something in the original scene worked. It’s hard on writers. Hard on actors, hard on editors, hard on me, hard on the producers, who require patience and confidence. But I can’t get to the end without going through this process.
I definitely made friends with the people I like to write with, but I’ll also write with people I haven’t met before or producers I haven’t met before because how are you supposed to make those friends without trying?
Most cornmeal producers don’t tell you when their cornmeal was milled, which makes it difficult to know how long the product has been sitting in the store before you bought it.
Free Trade puts consumers at the centre of economic activity. It lowers the cost of imports, which gives people the opportunity to buy more with the same amount of money: domestic producers have to compete with the lowest global costs or invest in new business.
Producers generally don’t like me; directors do, generally. Convincing the producers is hard. They can’t see the commercial value behind such a face, nor would they get a commercial value, necessarily – and I don’t mean that in a good way or a bad way.
Furthermore, there is no good ethical or economic reason for asking workmen and current producers to forego all economic gain in order to increase the purchasing power of all the wealth accumulated in past years.
I really like funny women. I’m drawn to women like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and Kristen Wiig, Amy Schumer. They’re writers, they’re producers, they’re actresses. They’re brilliant, funny, excellent women.
But I really am very active in the choice of the line producer with the producer of record and the distributing company, because I’ve had some terrible, terrible experiences with some line producers, particularly in cable.
The pressure is only from the producers and the labels. No composer, no singer would ever want to sing a remix.
I don’t think that a lot of my favorite producers or bands would produce our albums or even play on them, unfortunately.
Even in the early stages, you can tell who thinks you’re an idiot singing songs someone else has written for you. We never wanted to be two producers and a girl who wears some shoes.
I want to give producers more financial security.
Radio people can’t entirely shake off radio habits when they start doing podcasts. They sometimes bring with them things we don’t need, like producers and explanatory voiceovers.
Big producers trust the music directors. Small directors are insecure but like to experiment.
The thrill of hearing your own voice recorded is still there, I still love it, going into the studio and thinking how can I sing this song and between the producers and the musicians you find a way of doing it.
Promotions are a costly affair and most producers shy away from budgeting for that purpose.
Producers and studios know what sells. It’s nice to be one of the guys that can help sell a movie by taking his shirt off.
When I came down south and was put together with big producers, I always thought that they knew best. I never thought for a minute that they might have another agenda.
I like home recordings and studio recordings just as much as each other – I don’t think one is better – but for this record I wanted to see what I could do in a real studio with real producers.
I get a lot of love from Delhiites. My producers tell me that my films do really well here.
I could never work in that kind of commercial environment where the stars have a lot to say, where the producers kind of push you around and tell you who to cast and who not to cast. I’m just not interested in that at all.
Record labels and producers are not looking to change you: they are looking to make a star. And what they might think is a star may not be you.
I write my own songs. I made my own videos. I pick my producers. Nothing goes out without my permission. It’s all authentic.
I think that sometimes, as producers, we just service the artists who’s really just the main front or person. You know, our roles are really just to help them get where they’re supposed to go.
In most cases, I think most executive producers and studio executives really do their best to accommodate you. At least, that’s been my experience in most cases.
In the old days… it was a basic, cardinal fact that producers didn’t have opinions. When I was producing natural history programmes, I didn’t use them as vehicles for my own opinion. They were factual programmes.
All producers and directors want to make good films.
Being a director, just to begin with, is just, I think, one of the hardest jobs just because you have to work in every way. You have to work with actors, you have to be involved with the producers and the writing and the action. Every department comes to you; you have to deal with everything.
I always want to work with a good director who’s backed by excellent producers.
I was criticized a lot when I was singing in Korean. The producers and people from my agency would point out my accent and tones, and would tell me I sound too American to fit the local market.
A composer like me finds it impossible to work with today’s producers. They want to tell you exactly how to compose, which notes to play, which rhythms to put in which part of the song.
I do not like producers.
I don’t think I can speak of the achievements of Indian cinema because it’s so large next to me. It’s not stopping. It’s ever-growing. We are going towards the right direction. We are evolving as a filmmaking industry as actors, directors, producers, singers, musicians. Everybody just pushing the boundaries.
When you look at Apple News and where it started, I want it to be available to everyone. But we also want to make sure the news producers are legitimate… We’re very concerned about what’s news items and what’s clickbait.
I’ve always felt a very strong affinity with Jewish people. Over the years I find I’ve become very friendly with certain people I’ve worked with – actors, producers, whatever – and then two or three years later I discover they’re Jewish.
Everyone gets a raise when they do well. No one asked me what I got for my initial films. There was a time I got paid Rs. 6 lakh. I charge what producers are willing to pay me.
Marathi film producers conveniently blame the audience. If there are 70-odd flops in a year, there are a few that are hit because the same audience comes to the theatres.
If a Canadian novel hasn’t been a box-office success, say, ‘The Republic of Love,’ then producers are reluctant to try again.
The latest technology is not always good for anything except to the producers of the technology.
Since ‘A Dangerous Method,’ I’ve had meetings with everyone from J.J. Abrams to the producers of ‘Drive.’ And they all have the same thing in common; they say: ‘Wow you worked with Cronenberg.’ He gave me instant film cred.
The producers and I felt that ‘Kanchana 2’ would be the apt title when compared to ‘Muni 3.’ Because, it goes with the prequel and will immediately strike a chord with the audience.
Let’s start spreading work experience and opportunities a little wider so that the photographers, writers, and TV producers of tomorrow are drawn from a broader section of society.
The usual key to getting films made seems to be a producer’s terrier-like determination not to let it go. Unfortunately, such producers often seem prone to sinking their claws into mediocre projects.
I didn’t even know how to speak Hindi or act. I didn’t think about fame and money. I didn’t talk about money with the producers, as I was a minor. My parents handled that part. But I am from a family where money was never an issue.
The ill effects of thought come about when we forget that thought is a function of our consciousness… an ability that we as human beings have. We are the producers of our own thinking.
There are always discussions about casting stars in lead roles in theater – especially when you’re working with commercial producers – and it’s not something I’m against, not at all. But any casting has to be right for the project.
When Rick Ross made ‘Hustlin’,’ Rick Ross also helped those producers become some of the biggest producers in the world.
A lot of actors want to do a solo release, but not many people go and watch it. The more you work with different actors and producers, the more your work reaches people.
We are aware that many national farm organizations are putting forth various plans to provide both short- and long-term relief to our nation’s agricultural producers. While we believe long-term solutions are essential, the current situation demands a more immediate response.
I feel like my music has so many different things going on. I’ve always worked with many different producers. And a lot of times, each of them has a different thing that I really love about what they do.
As an actor, you’re in the hands of producers and directors. It’s important to find out who you’re working with.
What can I do if the director and producers comes to me with a certain demand for a vision for a song? I will try my best to give them a song that matches their vision.
I have purchased a flat in Malad, but that is not with my ‘Bigg Boss’ prize. I had bought it with my earnings that were released by producers of ‘Bhabhiji Ghar Pe Hain’ just before I was offered ‘Bigg Boss.’
Music is composed on computers and other electronic equipment; producers don’t want to spend money on orchestra.
There are times when I think, if I were a bit more famous, life could be easier in terms of work because producers want bums on seats, and they’re going to get bums on seats if they get a name, if you have had that series on telly.
I got to learn from the American audience. Hearing what it is they’re not getting. These are audiences, 35 to 40, an older demographic that controls seven to 10 trillion dollars. And the producers and distributors have convinced themselves this group doesn’t go to the movies.
My family had this dream where we would meet producers and songwriters, and it was not what we thought it would be.
That was very difficult for me on ‘American Idol’ to feel like I had to be a certain way. It wasn’t that the producers were saying that you shouldn’t be gay or whatever, but there was this unspoken energy around saying you have to appeal to Middle America, and Middle America at that point was not ready for all that.
I had people in ‘Entertainment Weekly’ talking about how they wanted to throttle me because they thought I was too disgustingly cute, as if that were my fault, you know, as if that was my fault, not the fault of directors and producers and such.
People do care where their food, or other goods, comes from, not merely if the price is right. And that means no business can afford to ignore the impacts their buying practices have on producers and on the perceptions and choices of consumers.
I can confidently say that I am comfortable with all the directors, co-star and producers with whom I have worked; there have been absolutely no tensions.
There are many great wine producers from all over the world making fantastic wines. Italian wines especially are making an enormous comeback after sometimes being labeled as inexpensive jug wines.
Seattle isn’t known for a particular production sound, so that leaves a lot of great producers in Seattle doing kind of their own thing. And I think, for me, I was probably enough removed from hip-hop that my style was even a little bit weirder than that.
There’s no point in me meeting with a bunch of producers or studios, because I’ll write my own scripts in my own time.
Everybody gets typecast in movies, but you have to make wise choices. I’d say around 90 percent of movie casting is about the way you look, so you have to fight that. If producers had their way, I’d only be in action films, but I’m interested in a more varied career than that.
For the producers, there was no reason to produce. You get money, but you couldn’t use this money. For consumers, you could have money, but you have no way to use it because you go to the shop and see nothing.
Economic depression cannot be cured by legislative action or executive pronouncement. Economic wounds must be healed by the action of the cells of the economic body – the producers and consumers themselves.
On ‘Queer Eye,’ I really get to see the way someone lives. They know the Fab Five are coming, but they don’t know when or how, so our producers make sure they don’t clean up so that we can experience exactly how they normally live.
I want to be a commercially viable actor. I want that the distributors and producers should earn the money; then only, you become a bankable actor.
The first album, for better or for worse, was done over from the ages of 17-22, with a couple of different producers. Some of it was recorded in an old swimming pool, some of it was recorded in a synagogue – it kind of was all over the place.
I can’t tell you how lucky I feel to be able to collaborate with some of my dream producers.
The bottom line is that female writers aren’t being given enough opportunities by male producers.
When you make the transition from local news to something like Fox, you feel incredibly blessed because now you have fantastic producers at every level who are helping you do the things you used to do by yourself.
I wanted to look cute, hot and sexy all at the same time in ‘Bigg Boss!’ How else will the Bollywood producers cast me in their films as the lead actress?
Stupidly, in our industry, producers pay precious money to sign stars whom they might not even use in the film. Producers believe stars make hits; actually it is the script that makes a film successful.
Music TV in the U.K. is disappearing. ‘Top Of The Pops,’ ‘CD:UK’ and shows like that have gone, and it’s bringing down the music industry. We should do as much as we can to keep our music TV and producers need to be more willing to accommodate live music.
I’ve had situations where producers would be like, ‘Could you meet me? Take the train; don’t tell your parents.’
I struggled with working with producers because no one openly wanted to give me a chance to rap on their beats. That’s just honest talk. No one really wanted to take that risk.
I get advice from all the producers who have come out of Memphis. They just give me advice on the business side, because that’s most important besides the actual music. Just staying at a point I know I can’t mess myself up. I just got to be put up on game about it. Drumma Boy and Memphis Track Boy taught me a lot.
Who are these people who are taking these decisions of casting only young actors in films? It is the filmmakers and the film producers. I don’t know if that is what the audience wants because I really believe that masses respond to a good story.
DJ Sliink is amazing, and his production is on the next level. There are a lot of EDM producers that I’d like to work with, not for the sake of having an engineered record, but for the fact that I love their production and music.
Working on ‘NYPD Blue’ and ’24’, those two series, I did full runs on those. It’s great work, but everything has to align. The producers have to want you; the network has to want you; there has to be great writing; and it’s not as easy as it may appear to the outsiders to make all those things align.
I dream of collaborating with Q-Tip and Timbaland – it’s all producers. I’d really like to work with Drake and DRAM. The Weeknd would be dope. The list goes on and on. If Michael Jackson were alive, I’d love to collaborate with him.
I remember when I did my Enron film, my executive producers at the time felt very strongly that I should mock the Enron executives more viciously because everybody wanted that moment.
The two Hindi movies that I did were not marketed well, and so not many people came to watch the film, hence the audience doesn’t know much about me. I am a newcomer, and I cannot sell a film on my own. There has to be a backing in terms of producers.
I try to keep up to my producers’ expectations. Sometimes, I can; sometimes, I cannot.
Raze’ is a horror/action film and they asked me to get involved when it was just in the developmental stage – they also brought be on board as one of the producers and that is really what drew me to it.
Playwriting gets into your blood and you can’t stop it. At least not until the producers or the public tell you to.
When ‘Pizza’ released, I was a nobody. Initially, we managed to get only 100 screens. But, after its success, the producers of ‘Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom’ got 150 screens and also released the film in the U.S. Now, distributors are keen to invest in my films because they feel I have face value.
It’s about removing the barriers between producers and consumers. I want to get rid of that mindset so that people realize in order to create, you have to participate.
I am not an established name in Bollywood and hence I can’t call the shots. In Kolkata, I have proved myself and am in a position in the industry where directors and producers easily listen to me.
It was not easy to convince someone to put their hard-earned money into my work. But if we have the talent and confidence and if the producers are confident of your work, it is not difficult to get a producer.
There’s a lot going on music-wise in L.A. It’s a wicked place to wake up, there’s sunshine, you go to the studio, see all these really talented producers.
As a kid, I was trying to copy what I heard. Namely, I was just listening to producers I looked up to, like 45 King and Marley Marl, and trying to do what they were doing.
I’m probably tougher on myself than I used to be. I’ll revise my lyrics more. Part of that is working with the right people and producers who will say, ‘How can you make that better?’ Allowing yourself to collaborate with people will push you toward transcendence.
American music has become really heavily stylised and focused on production. With producers like the Neptunes and Timbaland, it’s so much about the backing track rather than the song.
Don’t ask me why the same producers cast me in their films. Maybe someone up there likes me as much as people down here.
You can ask any Latin actor: inevitably, if they get a part meant for a white guy, producers will change the character’s name to sound more Latin.
The producers want us to sell, sell, sell. That’s my little joke. That’s what we do by day; by night, we’re artists.
I left for Fiji 36 hours after we wrapped ‘Lucha Underground’ season 4. The producers of ‘Lucha Underground’ had to bend over backwards to get me wrapped out of the season to leave for ‘Survivor.’
Hats off to Julian and Johnny, the producers, for sticking to their guns with the five-season story arc of ‘Merlin’. It would have been too easy to give in to demand and stretch the show on beyond their original plan because of its incredible success.
I tell people all the time that producers, writers, and directors really don’t know what they want until it walks into the room – you have to show them what they want. Everyone is rooting for you when you walk into the room. Everyone wants you to be good because it means their day is over!
What’s great about stand-up is that you can say whatever you want and go around the country, and sometimes the world, and work on it and see how people react. You don’t need Standards & Practices or notes from lawyers or producers to tell you what’s funny.
I don’t take off as many days as most other producers and songwriters, so I’m working every single day, and I do songs every day. So it’s just about finding time, scheduling, getting in and cutting the records. I make it happen and that’s the name of the game. It’s no excuses – you gotta figure it out.
Unfortunately, a lot of executives aren’t like producers, and can’t hear the diamond in the rough.
Most states, for all their rhetoric in favour of free trade, are adept at trying to manipulate markets to protect and advantage their own producers.
We can be inspired by and renew our ancient culture of sustainable design and living. Why not set standards for producers and importers of all goods and services sold in India?
On every film, there are producers all over the place, and everyone’s got to have an opinion. I think the screenplay is a beautiful form with great potential, but the environment around it is awful for a writer.
Film-making, in itself, is such a risky, costly-yet-uncertain business that despite being wealthy, 90 percent of people don’t become producers.
There are a lot of classic Goapele tracks that are obviously me. And I’m also just trying to keep evolving and grow as an artist. I’ve always had a wish list of producers I wanted to work with. I just wait until the feeling is mutual and go into the studio to see what we can come up with.
I was fortunate to work with some very powerful producers like Tom Miller and Bob Boyett.
Despite the debt, the traffic, the one-party rule, the taxes, and the eagerness of politicians to overwhelm small businesses and large corporate job producers with red tape and unnecessary regulations, the Golden State is still the most beautiful place to live and work in the United States.
Producers now look at the talent and if they believe that the director has the potential, they are willing to shell out the money irrespective of the gender.
As actresses, our loyalties lie with the community. We work with so many different producers and companies, you can’t really advocate for only one – the theatre industry is so much more than that.
From my years of work with so many game show production companies and their producers I’m probably no longer eligible to be a contestant on any American game show.
I’m not in a rush to do anything. And I wouldn’t say I pick and choose. When it comes to producers picking people for roles I don’t think it’s between me and Tom Cruise, do you know what I mean?
We were very creative. There was nothing contrived about us. No one telling us what to do, what to wear, what to sing. We wrote our own material, chose our producers.
Producers want to put their music behind revivals but I don’t think that’s a good trend for the theater at all.
I do like the idea of pulling in different producers to get new perspectives. That’s what I did with Vows and I feel it just gives variety and makes for a more exciting journey for the listener.
Because I’ve worked with Netflix from the beginning, and that’s my first job, I only want to work with creators, producers, and networks that are pushing the limit and putting people on the screen that haven’t had their stories told yet.
I’m just happy that ‘Idol’ producers gave me a shot on the show and to be able to show who I really was, because I feel like I’m every single woman.
We tend to think of Steam as tools for content developers and tools for producers. We’re just always thinking: how do we want to make content developers’ lives better and users’ lives a lot better? With Big Picture Mode, we’re trying to answer the question: ‘How can we maximize a content developers’ investment?’
I watch ‘Electronic Boy’ faithfully every week – not because I like the show but because I’m interested in where the smartest T.V. producers and directors are going, what direction they are headed in.
In the long run all producers are forced to use the most efficient methods or give place to others who do.
Every genre succumbs to gentrification at some point- as equipment becomes cheaper, as crowds become younger, there seems to be a sheepish attitude towards producers – how they can follow a mundane, linear sound, and make money.
You have to give access to people with disabilities but there is no requirement to hire them. What I mean by affirmative obligation is that producers must take the necessary steps to include opportunities for people with disabilities and a vast majority of them do.
When I read the news that Wonder Woman was going to be resurrected for a blockbuster movie in 2016, ‘Batman vs. Superman’, it made me excited – and anxious. Would the producers give her a role as fierce as her origins – and maybe some shoulder straps – or would she just be cartoon eye candy?
Granted, the writers, directors, producers, and that community make a great deal of money. But they might be choosing to do a whole lot of other things for the living they make.
One of my favorite things about working on ‘Liv and Maddie’ is the creative environment that has been designed for us by our lovely director, producers, and writers.
When I entered my first newsroom in the late 80s it was packed with young people, a fairly balanced ratio of men and women, working as fixers, sub-editors, presenters and producers. Everyone was committed to the job, and equally ambitious.
I’ve been singing for six years. I’ve been in and out of the studios with top producers, but it wasn’t something I was ready to express to the public or to the press. I wasn’t ready to come out. I wanted to perfect my voice and be 100 percent positive that I could come out right.
I’ve said this before, but after ‘That ’70s Show’ ended, I solely wanted do films that inspire me, and to work with people who make me better. I wanted to just surround myself with people who I think are better than I am, whether they’re actors or directors or producers, so that I could learn from them.
Our third album, ‘Grown.’ On that album, some of us had the opportunity to have hands-on experience into songwriting and production. The project itself taught the members how to create an album ourselves while grabbing guidance from the producers we worked with.
The stories that are most unfamiliar, the ones that seem to come out of the blue about people that aren’t well known, usually come from producers that have really done a lot of homework and looked around. Other stories come from the correspondents.
Chickens from smaller producers tend to be smaller in size, and therefore have an optimal ratio of bone to meat, for a juicier fried chicken.
Sector-specific price declines, uncomfortable as they may be for producers in that sector, are generally not a problem for the economy as a whole and do not constitute deflation.
Like the producers of crops, airplanes, and books, producers of natural gas provide goods to meet the size of their available market. The larger the market, the more they can produce, and the more revenue they can obtain to cover their fixed costs and invest in future development.
