Love Quote by Jerry Bruckheimer

"In TV we've used something that I love... it's called process. I love process"

About this Quote

Bruckheimer’s little stutter-step into devotion - “something that I love... it’s called process” - is the kind of plainspoken corporate poetry Hollywood can only produce when it’s trying not to sound corporate. He’s not praising artistry in the romantic sense; he’s praising infrastructure. “Process” is a magic word in television because it turns chaos into repeatability: a writers’ room that can break story on schedule, a production pipeline that can deliver episodes like clockwork, a set of approvals that keeps a showrunner’s vision from becoming a budget fire.

The subtext is defensive and aspirational at the same time. Defensive, because TV’s modern economy punishes waste. With shrinking episode orders, volatile streaming strategies, and executives demanding “premium” results at spreadsheet-friendly costs, process becomes a shield: a way to argue that quality isn’t luck, it’s a system. Aspirational, because it positions Bruckheimer not as a gambler chasing hits but as an engineer of them. That’s the brand: a producer as logistics artist, translating taste into a machine that can scale.

Context matters. Film used to fetishize the singular masterpiece; television, especially prestige TV, sells intimacy and consistency over time. Saying “I love process” is a subtle flex that he knows where the leverage is now: not just in the idea, but in the repeatable method that keeps audiences returning and networks confident. It’s less inspirational quote, more operating manual - delivered with the disarming sincerity of someone who’s survived long enough to know that the method is the message.
