And they at the time that set 559 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 3: of agents. And I'm saying this on purpose so that 560 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 3: anyone listening who's an actor and feels limited by their agents, 561 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 3: we forget that we also have a massive voice in that. 562 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 6: And they do work for you. 563 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 3: And when you find great ones like I have now. 564 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 3: It is a complete and utter marriage.

And there's nothing wrong. 570 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 3: This is something I've learned from coming to America. There 571 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 3: is a big difference between arrogance and knowing your worth. 572 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 3: And in Britain, I think often people aren't encouraged to 573 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 3: know their own worth, you know.
