What work I have done I have done because it has been play. If it had been work I shouldn't have done it. . . . The work that is really a man's own work is play and not work at all. . . . When we talk about the great workers of the world we really mean the great players of the world.

You are bound to want a player at some stage who is represented by this guy and you will have to try to work around the personality of the agent.
