Nothing is really media driven or committee driven, so you can actually just produce something.
Honestly, production when you first start can be difficult to wrap your head around.
One day, my mum bought me this music production software for my computer, and I started making beats... I realised it was more like production than a video game, but it was a video game when I was playing it. That's how I got into music production.
When I make a movie, it's almost a relief to get shooting 'cause the hell is over, or part of the hell is over.
Weapons of mass destruction aren't pulled out of a black hat like a white rabbit at a magic show. They're produced in factories. There's science and technology involved. They're not produced in a hole in the ground or in a basement.
Filmmaking is a gamble.
I think people like to exaggerate about the number of takes you do.
When you call a game, it's almost like you're doing a three-hour movie and the production of it all, living in the moment in real time, the replays, all the intricacies that go into putting a game in a broadcast. It's not just 100 percent football.
I don't know much about writing a show or being a show-runner on a show, but I can only imagine that when you first cast a show and you first do a pilot, there are so many components that you're throwing into the mix and you're not sure how they're going to develop.
When a filmmaker tries to make a good film and if he gets success in that then definitely it's a nice feeling.
We have table reads for every episode of 'Billions.' The core cast is smaller than the core cast on 'Orange Is the New Black,' so in that sense, it has more of a theater vibe.
I appreciate my role as an actor much more after I direct because it's just easier.
You don't have a lot of time; you have to get it right. It's amazing how they create these episodes in such a short amount of time. They lavish a lot of care and money on each episode, and they just look terrific.
Capitalism has socialized production. It has brought thousands of people together in the factory and involved them in new social relationships.
It's madness to hand in a script to a director, leave them alone, and for the director not to want the writer there with rehearsals and the shoot.
In terms of directing a feature, I'd want the story to be right - you know, it's a year of your life, and you have to be focused on one thing, so I want it to be a story that I really, really care about and will enjoy making.
When you're just an actor, you do your role, and then you're in your trailer. It's not as hands on as when you're directing. You live and breathe it.
I'm happiest when I'm discussing a script and working with interesting people.
Actors don't make a project; a project makes the actors.
The object of protection is that of diminishing the distance and the waste between the producer and the consumer

Production is not the application of tools to materials, but logic to work.
Part of making TV is the process - you just have to churn it out.
The records I make, I'm there from the writing of the first note through the click tracks to the miking of the drums to the editing of everything to the production to the vocals to the artwork.
It's always interesting when you're doing things yourself - getting the lighting, getting everybody together. It's exciting.
The TV show 'How It's Made' brings the intricate details of assembly lines to numerous North American living rooms. But if the series were to ever branch into exposing the secrets of music production, Colin Stetson's 'New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges' would make for a mind-bending episode.
