When I left 20th Century-Fox to freelance my agent believed that getting big money was the way to establish real importance in our industry.
When I was seven I asked my mom if I could be on TV and she said if I really wanted to I could. I got an agent and booked my first audition.
An agent saw one of the plays I did at ACT but my mom was like No she's too young. I became so annoying that a year and a half later she just couldn't stand hearing me any more!
I told my agents that I didn't want to go on the audition. But as that was happening I called my mom who has been watching the show from the beginning and my mom said 'It's the coolest show. You have to go.'
From the very start of all of this my mom has read the scripts first. And if she liked something she let me read it. She told our agent what kinds of parts that we would want.
I was almost 8 years old when I was watching a kid on a TV commercial and I told my mom that I wanted to do the same thing. She said that I would need to get an agent and that she would research it.
Man is not the creature of circumstances circumstances are the creatures of men. We are free agents and man is more powerful than matter.
Yes there is a story about Agent Orange and we knew that it harmed our troops and we knew how long it was to get the medical community to accept that the military to accept it the VA to accept it.
The more expansive government is the more perils people face in daily lives be it from IRS agents or from child support services or from other agencies that often have little or no legal restraints on their power.
I have been surrounded by some of the smartest brightest most caring lawyers by agents who are willing to risk their lives for others by support staff that are willing to work as hard as they can.
I had a traditional interview based on a phone call from an agent. He says there's a show and they would like to see you and its called Dallas. With very little knowledge I go over to this meeting at Warner Brothers.
Foreign Ministry guys don't become agents. Party officials the Foreign Ministry nerds tend not to volunteer to Western intelligence agencies.
I feel that I and the people under my command tried to use all the traditional methods of recruiting agents which were also used by other intelligence services adopting also means like pressure money sex - but that did not characterize my service.
I'm in awe of the universe but I don't necessarily believe there's an intelligence or agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals though even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance. The incense is powerful and provocative whether Buddhist or Catholic.
Well what did we buy? Instead of a leaner smarter government we bought a bureaucracy that now tells us which light bulbs to buy and which will put 16 500 IRS agents in charge of policing President Obama's health care bill.
The great constitutional corrective in the hands of the people against usurpation of power or corruption by their agents is the right of suffrage and this when used with calmness and deliberation will prove strong enough.
If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another then I say break the law.
The people are the government administering it by their agents they are the government the sovereign power.
A man is truly free even here in this embodied state if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything.
We worship an awesome God in the Blue States and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States.
It's funny: I've been very successful and done a lot of films and I don't really have an agent - I don't really pursue jobs I let people come to me.
I can do comedy so people want me to do that but the other side of comedy is depression. Deep deep depression is the flip side of comedy. Casting agents don't realize it but in order to be funny you have to have that other side.
I had to act in a school play when I was about ten years old. I really didn't want to do it. But everyone had to do it so I didn't have a choice. A talent agent came and watched it and later gave me some work. It's funny because I'd always known that I wanted a movie career. I just didn't think that I would be in the movies.
For more than four decades the Libyan people have been ruled by a tyrant - Moammar Gaddafi. He has denied his people freedom exploited their wealth murdered opponents at home and abroad and terrorized innocent people around the world - including Americans who were killed by Libyan agents.
The value of life lies not in the length of days but in the use we make of them... Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years but on your will.
