IRVING PAUL LAZAR

In a deal, you give and take. You compromise. Then you grab the cash and catch the next train out of town.

I have no contracts with my clients; just a handshake is enough.

I call myself a literary agent simply to distinguish myself from actors' agents.

I'm not a very religious man, but I'm proud to be a Jew.

Sometimes I wake up in the morning and there's nothing doing, so I decide to make something happen by lunch.

The whole point of having money, and working and making money, is to enjoy and spend it.
