The executive producer title either means that you're the person who created, or co-created, the show, or you're the person who's in charge of day-to-day operations. Whereas producer is often just a writing credit.

More quotes by Mitchell Hurwitz
They say to just write about what's happening in your backyard because that's where you find the most creativity. It's in the DNA of the show. There's no question.
Mitchell Hurwitz
I joked recently that I thought 30 seconds a day for three years would be the best way to enjoy it, and I'm going to stand by that statement.
Mitchell Hurwitz
It's very hard, I think, for critics to write positive reviews, because there's not that much to say about something you like. You can kind of say 'I really like that band' and then if you're forced to fill up the rest of an article, you've got to start saying heady things. It's much easier to say negative things in a review.
Mitchell Hurwitz
Television is so much about continuing to work with people.
Mitchell Hurwitz
I hope to take advantage of the Netflix organism and see if there are ways to get in new material and see if there are ways to do deleted scenes.
Mitchell Hurwitz
Regret is a tricky word. Here's a big secret: nobody knows what wasn't.
Mitchell Hurwitz
Violence has not really been an issue. Even in my wildest hopes, I wasn't trying to get violence in.
Mitchell Hurwitz
It's very easy I think when you're a creative person to wait for the right thing and to start getting self-conscious about how you are going to express what you do and what's special about you. I would say in general, a lot of times the answer is that you just dive into something and you find your own voice through that process.

The TV industry works in this crazy system where everybody's trying to get the same actors at the same time.
Mitchell Hurwitz
One of the challenges of the show has always been trying to be surprising, and that was easy to do when nobody was watching it. Now that people have started watching it, they get ahead of us. We've all started really guarding the material, just to make it fun for the audience.
Mitchell Hurwitz
We mapped out the whole movie, and then worked backwards from that to do these shows. It might not be a movie. It might be something else.
Mitchell Hurwitz
I think of there being two conditions that creative people go through. I think it's fear and curiosity.
Mitchell Hurwitz
We figured the interesting question for them is, Where has the family been since 2006, since the last time we saw them? So, part of the time, we had to spend answering that question. Then, inevitably, it goes up to a point of crisis, in everyone's show. There was just no getting around that it was about 2006-2012.
Mitchell Hurwitz
One of the things I liked about bringing this show back was that it gives people something to look forward to. In doing the show, I was very aware that some people will watch it all in one night, but there is enough that it will be fun to re-watch. Hopefully, people will be laughing a lot.

It's much easier to say negative things in a review.

One of the best ways into the business is to get a job with a production, which you can do by cold-calling or by getting your résumé out there, and also through contacts. That's where nepotism really helps.
Mitchell Hurwitz
I think that timing is everything. At first, it was too soon. And then, the time was right, but I was busy with other things, and the cast was busy with other things. By the time we sat down to work on the movie, enough time had passed that suddenly a different story emerged.
Mitchell Hurwitz
We started gearing our content more to what makes us laugh and stories we wanted to tell, and we had to decide, early on, to not be precious about it.
Mitchell Hurwitz
I always liked magic. I was always embarrassed by liking magic because I liked the fact that they're just lying.
Mitchell Hurwitz
I think everybody wants to be loved, all the time, but it's not realistic. It's also not realistic, if you're going to be ambitious, in terms of changing the form or evolving.
