Well I think I’m in a ridiculous category, “The Deadliest Catch” “60 Minutes” and “This American Life”, and clearly “My Life on the D-List” is much more important show that changes peoples lives, in a way that “60 Minutes”, could only dream of, in fact a lot of the 60 Minutes producers call me for advice, I’ve never said that publicly before.

Um, well on “Desperate Housewives” we have producer named George Perkins who I would say is probably one of the best I’ve every worked with, and he always remains calm, and he’s honest, you have to be really honest with people, because if you ask for this day off, he’ll say “Yes” or “No” and this is why I can’t, and just be direct.

Zeljko: Endurance, it’s not funny, but endurance first and foremost, because we show up for a few hours in the day and that’s it, and go home, and they are doing it the rest of the day, it’s just hard to fathom how they manage it.
Debra: It’s not a funny job, so it’s hard to come up with a funny example.

Ron: I was driving along, trying to get into New York, I was struck in traffic, listening to it on the radio, so I was all alone, and getting this news, it’s sort of like a movie moment, I was beating on the steering wheel, cheering out the window, it just made me feel fantastic.

Ron: Here’s the thing that was so amazing to me and every day I was working with him, I kind of had to remind myself about this, there’s nothing of Richard Nixon in Frank Langella, there’s nothing of himself that he could draw on, and he created this character, I just got back from Washington D.C. for the inauguration and so many journalists and politicos taking me aside and saying it is uncanny what Frank Langella did in creating Richard Nixon, we’ve never seen anything with that kind of depth and dimension and that authenticity and it’s all artistry.

A44. HRN-3031
In: 02:32:42 Out: 02:33:35
Sound Bite: Charles Roven – Producer
I think one of things that a really good producer should have is a tremendous, a lot of lateral thinking ability, because you are dealing with so many desperate different elements when your putting together a film and so many different personalities and your trying to blend this thing which is part artistic and part commercial, even dealing with the small movies are a lot of money, so the big movies are a vast amount of money, so you have to an ability to think laterally and I think that a very important quality to have and also to be very resilient, there is a tremendous amount of adversity and rejection, and so you have to a lot of faith in what your doing.

Taking care of the details, you know that’s the best, taking care of the details, there is a great book actually that David O. Selznick wrote that’s called “Memo” which kind of explains it keeping up with all the details.
OC: What is one of the misconceptions about producers?
Michael: There just involved with the money, that there always just involved with the money, but they make a lot of creative decisions and really have to have a vision normally to see it all through.
