"Being an agent is an industry where choice matters more than effort."
"As a professional agent, if you don't have enough connections to take charge of a promising, high-potential group right from the start, you must pay attention to smaller groups with potential and subject them to sufficient testing and precautions."
"It happens often enough that an agent builds up a luxury roster of talent, only for the group to turn around and look down on the agent's objective capabilities."
