I love writing but hate starting. The page is awfully white and it says, "You may have fooled some of the people some of the time but those days are over, giftless. I`m not your agent and I`m not your mommy, I`m a white piece of paper, you wanna dance wit...
Aaron Sorkin
I did. I called my attorney. My agent. My manager. I said "You know y`all, you`re serious about this? I`m really.. I gotta get out of this. Like can`t they call `Leann Rimes`? I mean she`s good." - On trying to get out of the part of June Carter Cash in W...
Reese Witherspoon
The whole thing started on this Web site called Cyber Sleaze, which should probably tell you something. My agent called me and said, `There`s this stuff going around.` I got phone calls from my friends saying, `What are you going to do about this?` It was...
Jonathan Taylor Thomas
I was embarrassed by the director, Blake Edwards, who looked at me and said, `what am I supposed to do with THAT?`. I was a little hurt to be referred to as an inanimate object at an audition. I was told by my agent that a number of big stars won`t work w...
James Cromwell
I came to watch my friends. I was sitting there in the crowd when the agent from Perth came over. I didn`t even want to enter, it was a bit of chance. I was so shocked when I got my first job.
Gemma Ward
[On his role as Agent Fox Mulder on "The X-Files"] "It`s pretty workaday, people don`t seem to realize: You get up, you take a shower, you read the paper, you play Mulder." (from June 1998 "Entertainment Weekly" interview)
David Duchovny
I didn`t get Will & Grace" (1998) until I was almost 40. Had I listened to everybody else who kept saying, `Oh, there`s too much competition, you`ll never get an agent, you`ll never get a part, 90 percent of actors are out of work," if I`d listened to tha...
Megan Mullally
We had been shooting Charlie for about a month, and I was beginning to get nervous because there weren`t any phone calls. I called my agent and asked, Has no one called from the studio to complain or say, `Hey, what`s he doing?` or `Hey, he`s freaking us ...
Johnny Depp
[Talking about Hounddog]: It was a script that I loved and it`s, you know, ultimately my decision because I`m playing the character, but of course my mom and my agent read everything, but it was no different then anything else.
Dakota Fanning
I pay a huge chunk of money to my agent and publicity people to shield me from my fan mail. I don`t even want to know how many letters I get. I don`t see fan mail as a good thing. It always makes me think of stalkers.
Ben Stiller
Well, this film came together faster than anything else I think I`ve ever done. I literally got a phone call at something like 10 o`clock in the morning. I was in New York and I was asleep. My agent said, "I don`t know how to say this, but pack your bag. ...
William Forsythe
Hated acting "because, in the final analysis, an actor is only a pawn - brilliant sometimes, rare and talented, capable of bringing pleasure and even inspiration to others, but no less a pawn for that." Hayden`s agent: "This man was born in the wrong cent...
Sterling Hayden
The girls have got a bit excited. I spoke to my agent and she says she`s wading through the fan mail. We`ve got bags of it. I`m like, `OK, well, what do we do with that, then?` And she explains that we`re sending them pictures and stuff, which is great.
Orlando Bloom
Talking about her role on Profiler, as Agent Rachel Burke: It`s a wonderful opportunity to play a character totally different from anything I`ve been seen in before.
Jamie Luner
I was a little turned off by the idea of doing another bitch. But my agent put it to me quite frankly, that you have to be known before you can be typecast. (On her role as Cordelia)
Charisma Carpenter
I lived in Hollywood and, ironically, I didn`t know you could just go out and get an agent and go on auditions and try and become an actor, I thought it was like a Masonic thing, like a blood line you had to belong to - until I was 13. Then I realised wha...
Leonardo DiCaprio
I wasn`t crazy about the way things were going. I wanted to be a little more proactive with my career instead of waiting for something to come to me, so I formed a production company with my wife [Michelle Grace] and a partner, Diane Nabatoff, and changed...
Ray Liotta
I don`t think that Bond is a role model or that he should be a role model. He`s only part of a particular kind of story. I don`t think anyone should grow up wanting to go around killing people. I don`t think anyone should grow up wanting to be a secret ag...
Timothy Dalton
On hosting the 2004 Canadian Tribute Celebration & Gala: "When my agent told me I had been asked to host Canada`s Walk of Fame I was both surprised and delighted ... surprised that I still had an agent ... and delighted to be allowed back into Canada,"

Tom Green
I`m dyslexic, and at six years old they realized I couldn`t read a word and had been fooling them. My mum said to me: `If you come to me with a book in your hand and a smile on your face every day through the summer holiday, I`ll get you an agent.`
Keira Knightley
There`s not a day when somebody doesn`t smile and say, `Oh, you`re Agent 99.` I like being in a world that regards me in a friendly way. Interview with Toby Kahn, 1983.
Barbara Feldon
A reporter in search of information wired Grant`s agent: "HOW OLD CARY GRANT?" Grant happened to read the message himself, and wired back "OLD CARY GRANT FINE. HOW YOU?"
Cary Grant
[on working with Orson Welles on "Jane Eyre"] You can not battle an elephant. Orson was such a big man in every way that no one could stand up to him. On the first day at 4 o`clock, he strode in followed by his agent, a dwarf, his valet and a whole entour...
