“I've been the desperate writer before. I wrote a novel, and they paid ...” — Tom King Quote

“I've been the desperate writer before. I wrote a novel, and they paid me for it, and I've had those calls from my agent, and I'm like, 'Do you need me to ghost-write a vampire novel? What do you need? I'll do Transformers... tell me!'”

“As ever, I caveat with saying that I don't write about the factual content of my C.I.A. experience. Ever. People who are working hard to save lots of lives depend on me to keep my mouth shut.”

“I grew up in a weird environment. My mother's head of the home video division, basically. She played a big role in the invention of DVD - she won an Emmy for it. Or rather, she's part of a group that won an Emmy for it.”

“I went to my agent and told them, 'I want to be on another Disney show.'”

“I was joking with my agent that I'm going to get typecast for a water-disaster actor.”

“It's kind of interesting to be a director who is all of a sudden being an actor playing an agent. This is my whole world!”
