Taylor Sheridan takes swipe at Los Angeles after building TV empire from Texas

Taylor Sheridan let everyone know how he really feels about the city of Los Angeles.

During a recent appearance on the " Rodeo Time " podcast," the 56-year-old writer and director called Los Angeles an "awful place" where there is nothing to do except to work out.

"I'm the biggest content creator in Hollywood, and I haven't been to that sorry son of a b- - - - in seven years," he said.

The prolific showrunner is known for creating many of TV's most popular programming, including "Yellowstone," "Landman," "Lioness," "Tulsa King" and many others, and has managed to "do it from Granbury, Texas." WHAT TAYLOR SHERIDAN'S BIGGEST STARS REALLY THINK ABOUT WORKING WITH THE 'YELLOWSTONE' CREATOR Sheridan's homebase, known as Bosque Ranch, is in North Texas, and his studio, SGS Studios, which features sound stages and constructed sets, in Fort Worth, Texas.

Many of his shows have used both the ranch and the studio when filming.

After getting his start as an actor in Los Angeles, Sheridan witnessed unsavory behavior from directors on sets he was on, which greatly impacted how he treats his talent as a director.

"I watch these directors, most of them yell at everybody, yell at their crew, yell at people... it's a leadership by frustration," he explained.

"It's a terrible way to lead, and it creates an atmosphere that nobody wants to be a part of." He recalled coming to the understanding that without the camera operators, costume designers, production designers and everyone else on set, he can't make anything, adding, "so unless I'm willing to do it, I better be real nice when I ask someone to do it, and I better be real appreciative when they do."

2, and one of its stars recently gave the creator high praise.

When speaking to ScreenRant earlier this month, actor Michael Kelly revealed he told Sheridan, "Bro, anything you ever want me to do, I'll do.

I love being in Texas.

I love saying your words." "I think he's truly a standalone talent," he said.

"There's nobody who's doing or has ever done what he's doing.

It's incredible what he does.
