People tell me I need an assistant, but I don't want one.

I don't have an assistant. I make a lot of people around me my slaves, but no assistant.

I don't have any assistants, I do it all myself, I don't have any secretaries.

I'm avoiding having an assistant because then I would become the horrible boss. I can't justify having an assistant as a 25-year-old; I just can't do it!

I know what it's like and how hard my assistants work, and I try to treat them as fair as possible and make the office a fun environment.

When you're an assistant, you're executing the wishes of your boss.

I have an assistant who's very good at email, so I don't struggle with it.

I don't like to work with assistants. I'm already one too many; the camera alone would be enough.

Be serious. You've got to do the job you were hired to do well, but there's always more you can do. When I was an assistant, I would say to myself, 'You may not be an executive, but act like one.' I would volunteer for any creative assignment - read scripts, do 'coverage,' write notes.
