I discovered early in my movie work that a movie is never any better than the stupidest man connected with it. There are times when this distinction may be given to the writer or director. Most often it belongs to the producer.
Ben Hecht

I do think I'm lucky I met Michael. Not just Michael Douglas the actor and producer with two Oscars on the shelf, but Michael Douglas, the love of my life. I really do think it was meant to happen.
Catherine Zeta-Jones

I don't think I'll ever be a producer who's into taking the meetings and fighting the big fights with studios. I really don't like that part. I'm much more interested in the material.
Meg Ryan

I don't watch the movies I make, so I haven't seen 'Footloose' since it came out. You see this young, hungry actor, it's pretty fun. I was the only one they screen tested. It was an attempt by the director and producer to talk the head of the studio into hiring me because they didn't want me.
Kevin Bacon

I got out of high school, bought a recording studio and started operating it as an engineer and a producer.
T-Bone Burnett

I had 25 or 30 songs. Sequencing the record, I left that to the producer. I'm not into doing that stuff.
Jules Shear

I have come close to producing films. But generally by the time they hit the screen, there's about 50 people with producer credits, so what's the point. I usually find scripts I like with no money attached and take them to producers that I know and try to raise finance.
Tim Roth

I have never pressurized a producer to do me any favor.
Kabir Bedi

I have only one loyalty - to my writing. I never wanted to be the head of a studio or a producer.
Joe Eszterhas

I hope to be a producer, a musician, a painter, a photographer - I'm going to push myself to do as many things as I can and see where it goes.
Lucas Grabeel

I just always want a new producer. I'm going to have a new producer on the next one. Because I'm the same person, and I feel like, I know I'm going to bring to it a certain sensibility that's me, and I want to have something different coming out on each album.
Catie Curtis

I like to make records sound good. I'm more like a reducer than a producer. If an artist cannot produce themselves, what's the point?
Branford Marsalis

I like working with other people but I'm not a songwriter, I'm a producer.
Josh Silver

I love the producer, Joel Rice. We worked together years ago putting a project together.
Marilu Henner

I mean, I'm new but I've always been very interested in film making process and I've been lucky enough to work with film makers in my past that have been very encouraging to let me hang around. I get so emotionally vested - that the producer part of me was natural.
Charlize Theron

I only got to be able to act, because I gave myself a job as a producer.
Griffin Dunne

I realized the exciting place was behind the camera with the producer, director and so on.
Dino De Laurentiis

I still can't quite believe it. Although there was something about the fact that it was a first-time writer, a first-time producer, and a first-time director all at the same time.
Sam Mendes

I think that being a producer is business and being an actor is art.
Vincent D'Onofrio

I thought that it would be easier to learn that if I worked in motion pictures. So I went to work with one motion picture producer who was developing a color system. This didn't do to me much good. All I did was pick filters for the camera.
