Agents Quotations | Page 3

No offense to Bushwick, where all my neighbors greeted me on the street and there is a growing arts community and a curious beauty to its industrial zone, but Bushwick is no Williamsburg, even if the real estate agents would have you believe it is.

One of the agents who interviewed him said, 'How many kids are we talking about? The defendant, who was in New York at the time looking out at the snow, looked out at the snow and said, 'How many snowflakes are there out there?

Money-wise, I'm not sure what most free agents even get. But if you make the team, the money takes care of itself.

None of these difficulties can be invoked by state agents to justify violations of human rights committed in total impunity.

Possibly it wasn't too important for the world to know that we couldn't be bought, but I did want Al Capone and every gangster in the city to realize that there were still a few law enforcement agents who couldn't be swerved from their duty.

Ned deserves a lot of credit for what they've done in San Francisco the last 10 years, reinventing their club the way they do and always staying in the top two or three in the division. I know he's very good at negotiating contracts, has a good rapport with agents and is media-savvy.

Obviously, if you prorate it over a shorter time, the signing bonus won't be as high. But teams, players, owners and agents can all get creative.

Revenue departments have many, many more sweeping powers than any other agency or private collections firm would have under fair debt collection laws. So now what you'll have is revenue agents who are used to using those broad powers going after people who owe court fines or student loans. Some people might think this is great, but if you start unleashing the power of the government on those people, they might actually begin to chafe at such practices. I don't think it's a good idea.

If we're talking about chemical or biological agents coming in, or God forbid a nuclear device, the fact is that drug dealers have been smuggling drugs in for years. It shows us how porous the U.S. is to illegal substances coming in, and in large quantities.

Leah or Erin could develop into what we need, but at this point, it's foolish to think that two inexperienced players are the way to go. Expect to see other free agents at the point position come through camp.

There are many athletes out there who would covet an X Games gold over an Olympic gold. I've heard it come from athletes mouths - and I'm sure their agents are standing next to them smirking - but when you win an X Games medal, you are instantly afforded a reputation that perhaps you aren't afforded in the Olympics.

When you can take a wide receiver and make him a nickel back, ... when you can take rookies and make them starters, when you can take free agents off the streets and win a world championship, that means the philosophy and the scheme is bigger than the players.

Men of authority have employed all the destructive agents around them to promote their own personal interests at the sacrifice of every just, honorable, and lawful consideration.

Many of the free agents could have gone somewhere else for the money. But I think they liked what we had.

sensitive approach and generally happens through agents and managers.

The most powerful thing is for women not just to be the beneficiaries of the change, but to be agents of it.

With my career in general, I feel like I'm finally getting to do the roles that I've always wanted to do. It's a slow build; you can't ever get the roles that you want in the beginning of your career because you don't have the buzz or the heat, or whatever the hell it is you need for the agents and the studios to be happy.

...the emergent capabilities bursting forth from the revolutionary advances in the life sciences are about to make us the principal agent of evolution.

History has shown to us, especially in New York, that signing the 30-plus-year-old free agents without a very strong base is very risky. It has not worked for us in New York. You have to develop a core group, then you can go out and add.

Whatever happens doesn't change the fact that we want him with us. Many guys, probably the majority (of first-round draft picks), go to being restricted free agents . . . But we're sure going to make the attempt to see if we can get something done.

He looks focused. He knows the importance of this. He's got agents coming up to him. He looks under the basket and sees Larry Bird. He recognizes this in terms of its importance to his future in basketball.

We're programming these agents to have knowledge about the battlespace,

I went there and helped him shuffle pictures of people, and one of the agents asked me if I was interested in acting. Of course, I was a little bit interested in it; I'm sure that's part of the reason I moved to L.A. even though I never admitted it to myself.

Lloyd was asked to speak as a healthcare consultant to physicians, hospital administrators, agents and brokers at very high profile events. Without exception, participants mentioned Lloyd's speech as the high point of the event. It was evident he had researched the organization and the audience.

Some of the free agents we signed have been known to hit home runs. And I think some of our young players have pretty good pop, as well. It's just a matter of time until we're hitting like this consistently.

I said before that it's unfortunate that the small group of players involved here have been getting some very bad advice from both their counsel and some of the agents involved but I've tried to look forward to getting through these unnecessary distractions and looking forward to rebuilding the solidarity within our association.

Some of the rumors out there are true and some are not. I imagine people hear about some of the workouts, then I imagine that some of the agents put information out there so that their player's stock appears to be on the rise. Then somebody doesn't run well, so his stock supposedly drops. But for us, it's more of a process.

Surely the agents of the government, businessmen and political parties have sent to inform you what happens here. After hearing us and hearing you, they will write in their report a false alarm. There's nothing to be worried about. The suspects are crazy and they haven't noticed each other. End of report.

Surveillance video is the largest mass of unstructured data out there, but if you bring structure to it, you can build new capabilities. There are three incidents a decade where you can afford to do that (get a large number of agents to watch).

I think that a really good agent should be able to get the right publisher, which the agent has already figured out, get as much money as she can from that publisher, and make a deal, rather than have the amount of money determine the sale. That's what the best agents do.

It is definitely the next chapter. We sat down and took stock of where we were. We looked at every facet of the business, from management, all the way through business managers, booking agents and, ultimately, record company. We had to replace a guitar player, too. It was a string of everything being the next of whatever we were dealing with.

I thought I was clever by greeting casting agents in my Australian accent and then switching to an American one during the performance. But the Australian accent seemed to put them off. Now it's the opposite; they love Australians. And with my thick Californian accent I now have a problem convincing them I'm Australian.

I thought Kenny was our best defensive back ... (but) we had 16 free agents and our front office was in a little bit of turmoil. Everyone has to know this: We didn't want to lose Ken Lucas.

Our people are used to these kind of incidents, and our intelligence agents found the footprints of Britain in the same incidents before,

Our committee has a lot of work to do before we truly think about implementing a guest worker program in this country. I say that because our Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents drive by day-labor centers knowing that illegal aliens loiter the street corner in search of illegal work but do nothing. I don't know how we can reasonably create a system for 10 million illegal aliens when we cannot currently handle the workload on our desks.

Our border patrol and immigration agents are doing a fine job, but we still have a problem, ... Too many illegal immigrants are coming in, and we're capturing many more non-Mexican illegal immigrants than we can send home.

Our study -- while early -- adds to growing evidence that pomegranates contain very powerful agents against cancer, particularly prostate cancer.

It all started when I went to this model search in Charlotte when I was 18. That's when I met all these agents and realized I could do it, and I won! I met a photographer at the competition who persuaded me to sign with a different agency than the one that was offered to me. So, I started with a small agency and eventually moved up to IMG.

It angers me. His agents told him he's going the first day of the draft. That's what they told him. They are pieces of garbage.

Members of this group displayed a complete disregard for the law as well as its officers and agents who enforce it.

Mexico has always been steeped in luxury; however over the last few years, the growth of the upscale segment has warranted a show dedicated specifically to the Mexican luxury market. This will be an opportunity for North American travel agents to meet, in an intimate setting, with Mexican upscale travel suppliers and experience the beautiful Riviera Maya. Launching an international show was a logical expansion of our already successful Luxury Travel Expo product. We look forward to presenting this new and exciting opportunity to advisors and suppliers alike.

While weve always had a certain number of federal prosecutors going after journalists, were seeing a different type of phenomenon the federal employee whos been wronged. If you can somehow compel the journalists to be agents of discovery, its going to have a chilling effect, ... This is very troubling.

Wherever I go, people ask: 'What is she? What is she?' There has always been an agenda - they're excluding me or including me in something with that question. It is the first thing agents in Los Angeles ask me. And then I'd hear: 'You're not black enough, you're too black, you're Italian - no, you're Spanish.'

We hope to become one of Alltel's top agents in this location.

We really rely on the public trust to do our job. If the public can't trust that the person they're actually being in contact with is a law enforcement officer, that makes our jobs a lot more difficult and puts our agents in harm's way.

That was very distasteful to me, to retaliate so to speak like that (against the Vikings). I do believe the commissioner should look into these kind of clauses. We work so hard on trying to gain labor peace and a new collective bargaining agreement and then we as clubs allow agents to get cute and circumvent it. On the playing field there are rules and there are unwritten rules about how the game should be played in the spirit and the fairness of it all. It doesn't make sense to me that we had to lose such a fine football player this way. I was surprised by the ruling.

My agent didn't want me on Disney because I'm older. But honestly, I'm not ready for older roles yet, or even the things older girls do. I am still young.

We've seen a terrific initial response. Instead of dividing their time up between two or more online services or physically meeting with multiple financial professionals, consumers are now using QuoteFinancial.com to compare all of the competitive insurance and loan quotes they need in minutes. It's a desirable solution that saves them time and effort while connecting them to agents and brokers from just one trusted network. And our participating agents and lenders are thrilled to have instant access to this pool of highly interested prospects.

The problem with intelligent agents and filters is that they can never do anything more than a crude approximation of my desires and wants.

The problem with signing our guys right now, almost none of the agents want to sign right now. They are afraid now if they go out and do a deal, they are going to get criticized for it.

We've signed some key free agents that are really going to help out at Double and Triple-A, especially Double-A.

There is a significant trend toward consolidating systems management features into fewer tools. Customers want to minimize the number of agents that perform overlapping functions.

We have zero tolerance for insurance agents who deceive our seniors and cheat them out of their hard-earned retirement funds.
