Some really don't realize that. And you can't write unless you read.” ThinkingWritingJobsRealizingRichAgents Author:Ursula K. Le Guin
“In L.A., if you're in improv, and you're on those stages, all the big agents and managers and producers are watching those shows. They're not flying to Chicago to see the show.

But the most guys book out of L.A., and the second is New York.” PeopleIfsBookShowsBigsJobsGuyStageNew YorkFlyingProducersAgentsManagersChicago Author:Jake M. Johnson
“My agent in London told me, after Never Let Me Go, because I loved doing that so much, "If you're on a lucky streak and you're doing well, you should only take a part, if you can't bear the idea of anyone else doing it."

“Los Angeles people are incapable of passively mainlining TV and movies. Here you have to read who produced or directed every episode, who wrote it, who had guests shots and whether you know them personally and if they like you. You have to figure out who everybody's agent is and whether yours is better. You not only know but deeply care about the difference between such job titles as Producer, Supervising Producer, and Executive Story Editor. ... So while the rest of the country is lying stupid in a media-induced coma, people in L.A. are in constant withdrawal.” PeopleIfsKnowsCountryStoriesCareJobsLyingDifferencesMediaStupidFiguresTvsLike YouShotsHollywoodConstantProducersAgentsTitlesExecutivesLos AngelesEditorsGuestsEpisodesIncapableWithdrawalComaJob Titles Book:Get Your Tongue Out of My Mouth, I'm Kissing You Good-bye Source: Get Your Tongue Out of My Mouth, I'm Kissing You Good-bye
