I'm developing some screenplays at the moment with my Australian producer.
I'm just a musician and a record producer.
Give the individual the power to be a producer as well as a consumer.
I only get involved with projects as a producer if I feel creatively inspired.
If you are looking for a producer, try to contact established producers. Don't let the fear of theft paralyze you, or you will never get anywhere with it.
The producers felt that 24 would be good for the audience, to really get to know who these 12 and 12 are.
The Ramones couldn't play in my key. They couldn't switch keys, so Ed Stasium literally had to play all the instruments for my version of "Rock 'N' Roll High School," and I always thought that was so weird, because it's not the Ramones playing. It's the producer, who happened to just be a musician and could play everything.
For me, selfishly, The Postman didn't kill my career. It meant I didn't shoot straight and painfully into the limelight, but Rushmore came out of it. No one would have known where I was to cast me in Rushmore had I not been in The Postman. Because they shared a producer. Nor would I have been in The Sixth Sense. Nor would I be speaking to you now if Kevin Costner hadn't cast me in The Postman.
I am working with various music producers and hope to be releasing music.
I want to see more women as producers.
Ultimately, I am very filmmaker oriented, as a producer.
I have a very large forehead. I have a pronounced skull. Maybe producers think that there is a lot going on up in there.
Evil or not, the recording industry kept Auto-Tune on the down-low. Cher's producer forced Auto-Tune to jump suddenly from one pitch to the next.
There's no great technical expertise in being a movie producer.
My producers give me total freedom. No one asks me for anything; they just tell me to make a good film, and that's what I do.
I'm a producer... I am a Hollywood producer. That is so weird. And it's not lame. But it's just like, how did that happen?
One of the reasons the producers' credit has been so weakened in recent years, and given to people who didn't deserve it, was that people didn't understand what producers did.
I would say the producer is the person who is there from the beginning to the end of the project. Either the person who creates, generates, or discovers the project, the person who performs many of the functions that are necessary to getting that project to the point where it is financed and then where it is in production, finished, marketed and released.
Producers are now employees, not creators.
The producer is at the center of entertainment. The producer is being forgotten, and producers must seize the center of activity.
If you happen to have a spare $100 million floating around, then you're my producer.
I brought the music out to L.A., and the producer Tommy LaPuma heard it and he said - "Man, I love it. Let's do it. Let's record it." I said, "Okay, where's the band?" He said, "We don't have a band. We want it to sound exactly like your demo." I said, "Well, I played all the instruments on the demo." You do that when you're making demos. You got your guitar, you got your sax. He said, "Well, I want it to sound just like that, so get all your instruments out here." So I ended up playing all the instruments.
I know that the podcast is typically something I can do forever, because it's mine; it's just me and my producer and business partner, so it's our business.
I'm very fortunate in that all the mediums I work in are extremely collaborative. Movies are probably the most solitary on a day to day basis, but even then you have producers and studio executives to work with and bounce ideas off of.
It was all to do with the change of producer as well as political reasons I don't really comprehend.
