We worship an awesome God in the Blue States and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States.

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.

I can do comedy so people want me to do that but the other side of comedy is depression. Deep deep depression is the flip side of comedy. Casting agents don't realize it but in order to be funny you have to have that other side.

I had to act in a school play when I was about ten years old. I really didn't want to do it. But everyone had to do it so I didn't have a choice. A talent agent came and watched it and later gave me some work. It's funny because I'd always known that I wanted a movie career. I just didn't think that I would be in the movies.

For more than four decades the Libyan people have been ruled by a tyrant - Moammar Gaddafi. He has denied his people freedom exploited their wealth murdered opponents at home and abroad and terrorized innocent people around the world - including Americans who were killed by Libyan agents.

When I was younger I was fat. I was never conscious of it and was content with who I was because I was so loved. My mother never told me to lose weight and my father doted on me but my agent told me. I tried but I loved Indian food too much.

I heard about the project over a year before we began. My American agent said 'Oh you might want to read 'In Cold Blood' because they're talking about you for Capote but the script's with Johnny Depp and Sean Penn at the moment.' So these things take their time to dribble down the food chain.

The real estate agent had to go door-to-door in the apartment building we wanted to rent asking if it was OK for this interracial family - my mom is white and I was a 1-year-old half-African kid - to live in the apartment building.

I think it makes people in the Pentagon kind of nervous to know that chemical agents and environmental factors could cause so much damage in terms of what may happen in the future.

If you were to ask my agent they would confirm this: I'm drawn to locations. What really drew me to 'The 4400 ' aside from the fact that it was sci-fi was the fact that it was shot in the city of my dreams: Vancouver.

I'm a bad dater - I'm just not good at it. It's so weird dating in this town. It's like high school. I get a lot of people who have their publicist call my agent to ask 'Is she dating anyone?'

The Dead was cool It's a great horror story. I went to the casting director of this movie and talked to him then they called my agent and had me come in and read for it and they wanted to use me.

When I first started acting I was about nine years old. I had never been to audition in my life and my agent sent me out. It was just a commercial for 'Harry Potter.' That was the first thing I ever went out for and I got the 'Harry Potter' commercial which was really cool but I didn't play Harry Potter.

The cool part about working for Disney is that they've allowed me to be a change agent.

While the recent addition of the National Guard providing a support role manning computers and cameras has allowed more Border Patrol agents to work the field more agents are still needed.

I was advised by an American agent when I was about 19 to change my surname.

Brands must empower their community to be change agents in their own right. To that end they need to take on a mentoring role. This means the brand provides the tools techniques and strategies for their customers to become more effective marketers in achieving their own goals.

Actors are agents of change. A film a piece of theater a piece of music or a book can make a difference. It can change the world.

The movie business is very difficult but the music business is just impossible. So I'll play in bands and record and play songs with other people but for me it's a form of expression that all I need is me. I don't need cameras or agents I can just have a piano and sing and feel totally verified.

The camera fails to capture the 'business' in show business! We typically will give 10 percent of our salary to the agent 10 percent to the manager and 5 percent to the lawyer plus the publicist gets a flat fee which needs to be budgeted for.

The sad truth is that without complex business partnerships between African elites and European traders and commercial agents the slave trade to the New World would have been impossible at least on the scale it occurred.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.

My agent says that I'm a 'repeat business guy.' If you hire me to come do a movie I'll be on time know all my material be ready to go have a good attitude. I'm here to work so I get hired over and over again by the same producers. If you just be a team player on set you can work so much more often.

The athlete of today is not an athlete alone. He's the center of a team - doctors scientists coaches agents and so on.
