I would read the material and I would go, "I don't get it, but okay, I'll produce it." You're giving up that much of your life, your time with family and friends, to something that you're not really committed to - and they did not pan out the way everyone said they would, even though I worked just as hard.”

And they have that relationship with the characters and with the creators. And now, because of social media that's even a more significant connection.”
