(rick nicita) that's the difference between agents.nting stars, there are many opportunities. bye. it's my, you know, it's ultimately my choice. it doesn't matter how many people say, "do it, you should do it, it's perfect, it's great." if i don't want to do it i'm not gonna do it, no matter how many people are telling me to. i think the key is the agents don't have power in themselves, their power is ceded to them by who they represent. when the actor has that much control, then he really now is taking o; he's taking on the whole load. and i think all too often that can affect the performance because he's carrying this massive thing, there's this, there's that, or whatever. it very often can lead to his having control beyond that, way beyond that of the producer or the director or the writer about what happens to a film: the writing, the rewriting, how it's directed, et cetera. the studios have no security, there's nobody to count on; they're just, they're just waiting in line. whatever their relationship really was with a given star,
