Dustin Hoffman

Po, the day you were chosen as Dragon Warrior was the worst day of my life. By far. Nothing else came close. It was the worst, most-painful, mind-destroying, horrible moment I have ever experienced. (shudders)

The agent fairy

From: Tootsie

Where the hell do you come off sending me your roommate's play for you to star in? I'm your agent, not your mother! I'm not supposed to find plays for you to star in. I'm supposed to field offers, and that's what I do! –'Field offers'? Who told you that, the agent fairy?

Nobody will hire you

From: Tootsie

Nobody will hire you. –Are you saying that nobody in New York will work with me? –Oh, no. That's too limiting. Nobody in Hollywood wants to work with you, either.

A cult failure

From: Tootsie

OK, I know this is going to disgust you, Michael, but a lot of people are in this business to make money. –You make it out like I'm some flake, George. I am in this business to make money, too. –Really? –Yes! –The Harlem Theatre For The Blind? Strindberg In The Park? The People's Workshop in Syracuse? –OK, now wait a minute. I did nine plays in eight months up in Syracuse. I happened to get great reviews from the New York critics, not that that's why I did it. –Oh, of course not. God forbid you should lose your standing as a cult failure.
