“Being producer you're still going to have to sell somebody who's going to give you the money on the idea and everything like that. But it does give you a little bit more control if you're thinking in that creative process; it gives you more control to tell the story you want to tell rather than sort of just reading a script that somebody else wrote and says, "Yes, please, you can hire me for this job." So it's a little bit more hands-on, a little bit more closer to the heart.” IfsThinkingWantGivingHeartLittlesDoeStillsIdeasStoriesHandsJobsReadingBitsProcessCreativePleaseLittle BitSellsScriptsProducersCreative Process Author:Mekhi Phifer

But we will push it to the limit as far as FOX will let us go; that's for damn sure.” LittlesDifferentBitsLimitsApproachLittle BitConcernedDialogueGreat ThingsDamnFoxesViewersShieldsDifferent Approach Author:Mekhi Phifer
