"I would rather sometimes take a gamble on something that feels really different. If I can see a spark in it and I can see how we can get it to a commercial stage." Nicki Field
"Being represented is not for everybody. For a lot of artists, it doesn't work. If you're switched on business wise, and you're happy with the way you market yourself, you probably don't need an agent." Chris Page ~
