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!

If my assistant goes off and becomes successful, and people want to work with him, I'd take that as a compliment that I'd trained them well.

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.

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

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.

I have done all the work myself, not assistants. That's why I'm in a wheelchair: I've been doing it physically - it's hard labour - throughout my life.

I wouldn't go down the route of having an assistant. I don't want to be like that. I want to be normal.

I've been used to being my own boss for a really long time, so I don't take to authority very well.
