I feel like my agents are really amazing and smart.

I have the best agents in the world.

I always tell people this when they're looking for an agent - they should love your work. You are entitled to work with someone who believes in you. Why do business with someone who is ambivalent about you and your art?

It's one thing to be talented, but the other thing is connections - with agents, with people; that's what makes a difference, and from the beginning, I've had wonderful representation.

It's very nice having my mum as my agent. You know that she's always doing what's best for you.

I tried for years to get an agent because I was told you needed an agent. The agent-hunting process was grim indeed.

She said 'I'm by commission. You don't have to pay anything until you sell anything.' I said, 'Well fine. You want to be my agent and not make anything.' I thought, 'Boy, is she dumb.'

I'm very lucky in that my agent and my editors know better. They don't push me. Because I don't take that well.

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.
