Directors Theater Producers

More From Harold Prince

The producer can put something together, package it, oversee it, give input. i'm the kind of producer that likes to take a back seat and let the director run with it. if he needs me, i'm there for him. as a director, i like to have the producer there with me. as a producer, i don't want to be there because i happen to be a director first and foremost, i don't want to "that guy."

I think a lot of people who watch tv don't realize when they're watch tv shows and it says 'produced by' and producer, producer... there are all these producers. what the hell does a producer do? it's funny how much you have to worry about as a producer.

With a director it's all about the work; i'd work with a great director over - you know, i'm not the kind of actor who that doesn't go, 'i want to play this role.' it's more like, 'i want to work with this director,' regardless of what the role is because if it's a good director, you'll probably find a good role because it's a decent film. but a mediocre director will always make a mediocre movie.

I grew up in a theater family. my father was a regional theater classical repertory producer. he created shakespeare festivals. he produced all of shakespeare's plays, mostly in shakespeare festivals in ohio. one of them, the great lakes theater festival in cleveland, is still going. so i grew up not wanting to be an actor, not wanting to go into the family business.

Independent means one thing to me: it means that regardless of the source of financing, the director's voice is extremely present. it's such a pretentious term, but it's auteurist cinema. director-driven, personal, auteurist... whatever word you want. it's where you feel the director, not a machine, at work. it doesn't matter where the money comes from. it matters how much freedom the director has to work with his or her team. that's how i personally define independent movies.

I will never become a director or a movie producer. i was always looking at picture directing because i didn't know what to do! you can't be a movie director without real preparation.
