I was so naive I didn't even know about agents. I telephoned the William Morris agency and asked to speak to Mr. Morris. I expected Bill Morris to be waiting for my call.

Kirstie Alley

I don't have an agent - I have the William Morris Agency.

Debbie Reynolds

I had a lot of success from the start. I never really was tested for long periods of time. I got my first professional job while I was a senior in college. I signed with the William Morris Agency before I graduated.

Denzel Washington

You're only as good as your last picture.

Marie Dressler

I think, as a chef and restaurateur, that you have to take care of your business. Otherwise, you're only as good as your last meal. You have to watch if your food costs are too high, or you could be out of business in no time.

Jean-Georges Vongerichten

I believe that business shouldn't be done in the public's eye anyway. And I believe that business shouldn't be handled in the magazines anyway. Business should be handled in the room amongst the people you're doing business with.

Lil Wayne

I wish my friends at William Morris Endeavor all the best.

Paul Oakenfold

I thought I'd be a success even back in the mailroom at William Morris.

David Geffen

Each time you take a good picture, you have the wonderful feeling of exhilaration... and almost instantly, the flip side. You have this terrible, terrible anxiety that you've just taken your last good picture.

Sally Mann

You're only as good as your last movie, period. It's a business.

Robert Lepage

I'm in the entertainment business, where you're only as good as your last show.

Matthew Weiner

There is no single policy to which one can point and say - this built the Morris business. I should think I must have made not less than one thousand decisions in each of the last ten years. The success of a business is the result of the proportion of right decisions by the executive in charge.

William Morris

You're only as good as your last joke, your last show, your last whatever. The confidence is there, but underneath, there is always insecurity.

Ray Romano

The only thing I hated about the agency business was a lot of business travel. It was the only part of my job that I did not like. I found it very tedious and wearing.

Donny Deutsch

As an actor, you've worked very hard, and you've been doing this for 20-some years, and William Morris was never interested - or any studio, either - in your company or as an actor, and then 'God's Not Dead' happens, and now everyone calls you.
