I've already felt that I want to direct. Being an executive producer is like the best job in the world because you make all these executive decisions and then you leave the money to other people. You don't have to be on set and counting beans.

Let me tell you about being executive producer. It is not a job, it's a title. Don't go around asking executive producers what they do because they don't do anything, alright?

The President seems to extend executive privilege way out past the atmosphere. What he says is executive privilege is nothing but executive poppycock.
Hollywood is run by people who sit up in their executive office, who are not connected to Mississippi, Alabama, Chicago, South Carolina. They know nothing about that, they don't go to church, and they make their decisions about what they think is right.

When you do a movie in the studio system, there's a committee. A committee of six or seven people you answer to. There's two or three producers, a studio executive and one or two people above that studio executive.

Addictive Personalities
All that 'is'
Will change.
All that 'has'
Will not.
And you expect,
Something from yesterday to be repeated?
Children who can not read,
Are passed along from grade to grade.
Without any comprehension at all being done.
There are folks hired in executive positions,
Because of their looks.
There are few women chefs who cook in restaurants.
And I have never seen a fireman direct traffic!
Have you?
'You make absolutely no sense.'
And neither do you.
All I asked if you will loan me another $10,
Like you did yesterday.
I will pay you back!
And you expect,
Something from yesterday to be repeated?
Children who can not read,
Are passed along from grade to grade.
Without any comprehension at all being done.
There are folks hired in executive positions,
Because of their looks.
There are...
'I get the picture! '
I don't think you do.
I don't think you will.
We both have addictive personalities.

My primary lesson, however, was that I'm a solo writer, happiest when I'm making all the executive decisions. I've always been willing to rise or fall on my own merits.

Homo Sapiens
Please do not make any boundaries in the sky.
let the birds fly.
please do not make any barriers in the sky
as you do to this planet earth.
let people smile
and hug each other.
do not let them cry
making wars in vain.
if you want to fight?
leave this earth
and find some other place as your wish.
please leave let others to live happily, this very short period
until they die as one nation.

Blueball Lushes
How many minutes does it take
To turn off the heat?
Make amends
And mutually retreat from this...
Hopeless, useless...
'I'm never gonna stop doing my thing,
Until you see my thing has more zing! '
Executive blueball lushes,
Crushing lives and dollar bills!
Tearing down any remnants of love...
Just to see people suffer for thrills!
How many seconds closer to lasts breaths
Does it take?
Before someone says,
'Let's mend the BS
And do a handshake!
Let's stop breaking these hearts,
That are not ours to break!
Everything we've done,
Has deepened the hate! '
Executive blueball lushes,
Crushing lives and dollar bills!
Tearing down any remnants of love...
Just to see people suffer for thrills!
Showing abilities to seduce for profit,
And turning disgusting into a skill!

I am an old, old friend of Aaron Sorkin's, who is the executive producer and writer. He had been talking about doing a political show for a long time and I had been interested in it for a long time. The moment I became available, he called me last year and asked me if I wanted to do it and then I just had to audition for the powers that be, and I got it.

Executive of Correctness
Most of the time,
It is neither okay or fine...
To anoint oneself,
The executive of correctness.
I know!
I've tried this and failed.
On many occasion.
And I use 'this' format...
To admit to this foolishness.
To exert a 'perceived' power,
One desires to be exclusively meant...
In a public display mentioned,
Is at best...
A sign of an ego that is absent,
Of collective participation.
What will it take,
For a people inconsiderate...
To place as a priority,
Forgiveness on their agenda?
With a loving of another done...
That welcomes the differences of everyone?
And...
To let go and let live...
What 'Is'!
With the acknowledgement,
That this is the intention of God!
And without question,
The only 'One' there is in position,
To make effective decisions.
Without the assistance of those who believe,
The Almighty awaits their recommendations...
From memos received!

Big Money
Big money goes around the world
Big money underground
Big money got a mighty voice
Big money make no sound
Big money pull a million strings
Big money hold the prize
Big money weave a mighty web
Big money draw the flies
Sometimes pushing people around
Sometimes pulling out the rug
Sometimes pushing all the buttons
Sometimes pulling out the plug
It's the power and the glory
It's a war in paradise
It's a cinderella story
On a tumble of the dice
Big money goes around the world
Big money take a cruise
Big money leave a mighty wake
Big money leave a bruise
Big money make a million dreams
Big money spin big deals
Big money make a mighty head
Big money spin big wheels
Sometimes building ivory towers
Sometimes knocking castles down
Sometimes building you a stairway --
Lock you underground
It's that old-time religion
it's the kingdom they would rule
It's the fool on television
Getting paid to play the fool
Big money goes around the world
Big money give and take
Big money done a power of good
Big money make mistakes
Big money got a heavy hand
Big money take control
Big money got a mean streak
Big money got no soul

Be The C.E.O. Of It
Handle your own business.
With an expertise,
You keep.
And be the C.E.O. of it.
You are the Chief Executive Officer.
Commander of your ship.
Know this.
And conduct yourself with a firm grasp held,
Within an unrelenting fist.
Get over mistakes made.
Moaning over them for you leaves no benefit.
You alone can make it known,
Persistence is in your grip.
And with it,
There is no quitting.
Handle your own business.
With an expertise,
You keep.
And be the C.E.O. of it.
You are the Chief Executive Officer.
Commander of your ship.
Know this.
And conduct yourself with a firm grasp held,
Within an unrelenting fist.
Release from your mind designs of defeat.
You...
And no one else,
Can succeed with skills to achieve.
Handle your own business.
And be the C.E.O. of it.
