As a producer, sitting on the other side of the desk, I have never once had an agent go out on a limb for his client and fight for him. I've never heard one say, 'No, just a minute! This is the actor you should use.' They will always say, 'You don't like him? I've got somebody else.' They're totally spineless.orson welles
I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.' Mmuhammad ali

I know people are pretty well embarrassed just at the mention of colon cancer. Sticking a tube in you to find out what's wrong is not a nice thing. But I can tell them, a 30- or 40-minute test is worth it. We have to make them feel more comfortable about getting screened. Eric Davis

My whole career, I've had an issue with always kind of being an underdog and making a big mistake when it counts and falling and having to climb back up.

It's like a fallen angel.Johnny Weir
Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. Lance Armstrong
