I've been on so many movies. Generally, I haven't gotten to be on the ground level. As of two years ago, in 'Dear John,' I got to really be on the ground floor. I wasn't a producer. I felt like I put the work in, and I did have a lot of sway on what got fixed, reshoots, so on and so forth. It felt really good. ↗

I never, my producer never, we never let myself just sing. We were always trying to get the perfect vocal. ↗

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. ↗

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

I look at old interviews and things and they say, 'What do you want to do when you grow up?' I say, 'I want to be a producer.' And I'm really fortunate that I was able to do it. ↗

I had very clever producers, who scheduled it brilliantly, but scheduling it was a nightmare. ↗
