A lot of the time with jobs that I’ve booked, immediately I’ll read the breakdown, or I’ll read the script, and I’m like, ‘Oh I’d love to do this, but I’m completely wrong for it,’ and they tend to be the jobs that I book.

I was unsure if people would like the music of Kabali’ and had even booked tickets to Sydney on the day of its release. I didn’t want people to come and throw stones at my house!

‘Shameless‘ was the first project I’ve ever booked, and I’m really happy for it!

Being booked for simulation is never good.

I was 18 years old when I booked ‘Youth in Revolt,’ and it was my first movie, and I was starring in that movie – and even then, I didn’t feel like I had made it.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve booked an air ticket only to get to the airport and find out they killed my ticket because it goes into the system, and the program tosses a ticket that says ‘fake‘ on it. Twice I’ve gone to the counter for a KLM flight through Northwest and have been rejected.

I saw Ronnie Hawkins play near my hometown, Port Dover, Ontario, and I saw him play there on New Year‘s Eve and the following spring I booked myself to be his opening act on maybe five shows, and he hired me after the first night.

As a young actor, I booked a movie in the U.S. I didn’t speak any English at the time, so I learned my lines phonetically when I auditioned for it.

On numerous different occasions I have had people tell me that I am only booked because of my dad, because of who I was dating, or any other exceptions other than my hard work, so in my mind I wanted to put in the extra hours in the ring.

I heard of this Texas studio. The owner, Tony Rancich, wanted to fly us out for the day to see the studio. I booked it the next day. He’s that rare guy that is in it purely for the love of it.

Professionally speaking, the proudest moment was when I booked the ‘Human Stain.’ I knew it had Nicole Kidman, Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris and Gary Sinise on board, and the director Robert Benton was an academy award winner for ‘Kramer vs Kramer.’

I failed to get into drama school, and my best friend told me I should do stand-up instead. I was always doing gags and voices, so he booked a gig for me without telling me. I only had four days to write it. I did a seven-minute set; the first four minutes were terrible, but the last two were amazing.

The most important thing to Ben and me was starting a family, so as soon as we got engaged, we booked Gurney’s in Montauk – which is just a few miles down the beach from our summer home – as our wedding venue a full year and a half out, and then we immediately started trying to get pregnant.

There have been times when I booked out a dance studio and I’ve tried to choreograph in there and suddenly I feel like I have no creativity.

As a young actor, I booked a movie in the U.S. I didn’t speak any English at the time, so I learned my lines phonetically when I auditioned for it.

We did like 12 shows, then we did the entire Ozzfest with the first half completely booked; then we did the second half with a couple days off here and there.

We did like 12 shows, then we did the entire Ozzfest with the first half completely booked; then we did the second half with a couple days off here and there.

My parents made me finish high school before I started acting, and I did, like, two weeks of fine arts college before I was like, ‘This sucks. I’m going!’ I got a few small jobs, and then I booked a big-for-Canada feature.

I was working at a restaurant, I booked the role in ‘Twilight,’ put in my two weeks’ notice, got fitted, flew to Portland, filmed, and then it started getting hype. That helped me get my foot into certain doors before the movie even came out.

I did 13-something years of talking to wrestlers and promoters about why they did certain things and why they booked matches a certain way and what they were thinking and whether they were satisfied with the draw. And I got a lot of insight in the business.

Do you know I used to pride myself on the fact that I’d never booked a show in my life, but that I’d played so many because I’d been invited?

I came out to America just before I turned 19, got my first audition, and booked it.

Once you’ve been booked, people in Hollywood say, ‘Oh he must be good.’ All the while you’re the same actor.

I was working at a restaurant, I booked the role in ‘Twilight,’ put in my two weeks’ notice, got fitted, flew to Portland, filmed, and then it started getting hype. That helped me get my foot into certain doors before the movie even came out.

I’m always thinking, ‘My goodness, I got booked again!’ So I am really happy to still be working.

When I first was trying to play the clubs around Houston to start playing my own songs, songwriters like Eric Taylor and Vince Bell and Townes Van Zandt and Don Sanders were just really encouraging to me and would let me sit in with them during their sets and introduce me to the person that owned and booked the club.

I used to be a calligrapher for weddings and events – that was my side job while I was auditioning. I think handwritten notes are a lost art form. When I booked my first pilot, my dad wrote me a letter that I still have. The idea of someone taking the time to put pen to paper is really special.

‘Fresh’ was maybe the third audition that I had after I got an agent, so I was crazy excited when I booked it.

Eventually I booked a 2-line role on a show called ‘JAG‘ and slowly the parts got bigger and better. I’m very thankful that I had to appreciate how difficult the business is before I had any kind of success.

I didn’t know much about the ‘Walking Dead‘ until after I booked the gig, and then I watched the first four seasons. I binge watched them in two weeks, and at that moment I realised, ‘Oh, this is a much bigger thing than I thought it was.’

You get a painting idea, and you go do that. You get a cinema idea, and you go in to do that. The difference is, even though the paintings might take some time to make, with cinema you are booked for a year and a half, minimum.

And after every audition I booked, my parents would buy me a Barbie, so that was it for me: You got a Barbie, and you got to hang out with friends. And I thought it was just the best thing ever.

When I moved out to L.A., I went on 156 auditions before I booked a single thing.

My favorite comic book growing up was ‘Thor.’ It was one of my three, favorite comic books. Obviously, Marvel is such a huge name, but for me, to book a role in a Marvel movie, and for it to be ‘Thor.’ When my manager told me I booked ‘Thor,’ I literally didn’t know what to say.

I was Bookings Production Manager at Vogue, a fancy way of saying that I helped produce photo shoots and booked hair, makeup, and modeling talent.

Sometimes English football takes pride in having the lowest yellow-card count in Europe, but of course it will have if you can take someone’s leg off and still not be booked.

You get a painting idea, and you go do that. You get a cinema idea, and you go in to do that. The difference is, even though the paintings might take some time to make, with cinema you are booked for a year and a half, minimum.

I had never imagined that after coming to Mumbai that, as an actor, my dates would be booked in six-eight months in advance.

That room was not available, and the only other room had been booked for a Jewish bar mitzvah. I called the father and told him I needed the room and I would pay him to move the bar mitzvah to an adjoining room which was smaller.

You booked him, and you didn’t worry about crowds. For drawing power in the South, it was Roy Acuff, then God.

I’ve been working as an actress and sort of struggling along for ten years, so I’ve been on a million auditions for a million things I haven‘t booked.

I booked a horror film called ‘Where the Devil Hides.’ It’s… you know, a horror film. But it was the first full-length movie I’d ever done, and it got me my visa, and I could start work.

I went to a few really bad commercial auditions because I needed the money, and when you booked a commercial, your life was made: you could eat.

I have very important phone messages that will be playing Broadway. An evening of my tweets I think is going to be booked into the Golden Theatre.

I was working in customer service and had a verbally abusive boss. One day, I decided to quit and pursue my acting passion with everything I had. One week after quitting, I booked ‘One Life to Live.’

I act here and there but you have to commit so far out in advance when you’re directing that you – I’m kind of booked six months out, so it’s hard.

Eventually I booked a 2-line role on a show called ‘JAG‘ and slowly the parts got bigger and better. I’m very thankful that I had to appreciate how difficult the business is before I had any kind of success.

I still remember going to a smart restaurant in Los Angeles, and the maitre d’ knew my name and showed me straight to a table even though we hadn’t booked. I get stopped for autographs by people from Sweden on the tops of mountains.

I used to audition like crazy – I would go on a hundred before I got anything. It took me a long time to get any jobs at all. It was hard until I booked ‘Galaxy Quest,’ and then it started to get easier.

When I came into the industry I started with acting and I did drama during junior high and high school. I fell into dancing as a hobby, but whenever you need work, you try out different things. So I booked a lot of jobs for dancing and it kept rolling and rolling.

I have to say, Franz in ‘Rock of Ages,’ I had three final callbacks for that role before I booked it – it was something that I’d dreamed of. I wanted to play that role. I love that show.

If people can understand me and accept me as a woman, I’m going to get booked for more jobs.

Do you know I used to pride myself on the fact that I’d never booked a show in my life, but that I’d played so many because I’d been invited?

And I was booked once to go on ‘Ed Sullivan‘ and I got bumped and ran out the back door crying.

‘iCarly’ was one of my first major jobs, actually. I went into that audition and completely failed at it. I completely bombed… I forgot my lines. When I forget my lines, I kind of get angry. They had me do it again; I remembered them, and I booked it.

My parents made me finish high school before I started acting, and I did, like, two weeks of fine arts college before I was like, ‘This sucks. I’m going!’ I got a few small jobs, and then I booked a big-for-Canada feature.

A month before I booked ‘This Is Us,’ I was like, ‘Maybe I should move to Montreal and work in a coffee shop.’

I moved right to L.A., and I had a year of active unemployment. I had 50-something auditions for 50-something different projects, testing and doing callbacks, and could not get hired. And then, almost a year to the day of being out in L.A., I booked my first job, and then I started booking something every other month.

I worked with Jack Nitzsche for ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo‘s Nest,’ and we’d booked a symphony orchestra. He dismissed them and came with a little man who poured water into glasses of different sizes to make a glass harmonica. And most of the music for the film was that – with some Indian flutes and some drums.

When I work with Lil Jon, as soon as I come in the studio, he already knows what we’re gonna do. He’s one of those producers where when you know you’ve got a session booked with them, you’re job is easier because they’re probably already going to have an idea or a hook.

If Kate Moss hadn’t been booked when she was 14, Kate Moss might not exist.

I moved to Los Angeles when I was 17. I had just booked ‘Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakwell.’ I thought, ‘Well, I’m just going to move to L.A. and become famous. ‘Squeakwell’ is going to launch me to that point.’ Well, I didn’t end up working for, like, three years afterward. That’s kind of the name of the game.

How can I die? I’m booked.

My favorite part of festival season is probably the disposable income at hand for me… I get booked for more, and I make more money.

In fact, one was so booked out we went from March and were to go till November, but the pantomime was booked so they transferred the show to the Prince of Wales Theatre because it was so packed out, and it ran on from there.

I booked my first studio at like 12 or 13. Somewhere in that season of my life, singing along with the radio became me wanting to be on radio, you know.

I saw Ronnie Hawkins play near my hometown, Port Dover, Ontario, and I saw him play there on New Year‘s Eve and the following spring I booked myself to be his opening act on maybe five shows, and he hired me after the first night.

I can’t get booked on the Fourth of July, or it’ll be, ‘Do you want to open for the opener for Toby Keith?’ Hell, no.

If I could have played in the qualifying rounds for the Beijing Olympics, the result could have changed. India would have booked the Olympics berth.

The first job that I booked was a small role in James Franco‘s film ‘Bukowski.’ I had to make out with a 13-year-old kid. I think it was his first kiss. I was 15. I became so nervous on set that I actually fainted when James Franco came to direct me.

When I booked ‘Orange,’ I thought things were going to change a little bit, and I’d be a little more busy, but obviously I underestimated it. I don’t think anyone knew that my character would be taken to so well.

If Kate Moss hadn’t been booked when she was 14, Kate Moss might not exist.

I used to work at this store, and I got fired when I actually booked the job on ‘Glee‘ because I had to go film ‘Glee.’ I was a dancer on ‘Glee.’ My manager was like, ‘Umm this isn’t gonna work, so you can come get your last check this week.’

When I was living in Los Angeles, I always booked a moisturizing milk-and-honey massage the day before flying to Spain. It was heaven – I never got dry plane skin or felt stiff from sitting in one position.

When I go to a restaurant and they say, ‘We’re fully booked,’ I say, ‘It’s Roberto Cavalli,’ and they say, ‘I will check’. I love it!

Cyprus had developed its financial center over three decades ago by having double taxation treaties with a number of countries: the Soviet Union, for example. That means if profits are booked and earned and taxed in Cyprus, they are not taxed again in the other country.

The first job I booked was on ‘True Blood.’ I played a blood siren.

I’ve been very lucky in the characters I’ve chosen. Up until last year I was a nobody. I did jobs I booked because I needed to put food in my mouth.

I booked my first studio at like 12 or 13. Somewhere in that season of my life, singing along with the radio became me wanting to be on radio, you know. And writing Langston Hughes replica poems became me wanting to write like Stevie Wonder.

The first job that I booked was a small role in James Franco‘s film ‘Bukowski.’ I had to make out with a 13-year-old kid. I think it was his first kiss. I was 15. I became so nervous on set that I actually fainted when James Franco came to direct me.

Six months after I moved to L.A., I booked the ABC pilot ‘Commander-in-Chief‘ with Geena Davis. I played her son.

If people can understand me and accept me as a woman, I’m going to get booked for more jobs.

Cyprus had developed its financial center over three decades ago by having double taxation treaties with a number of countries: the Soviet Union, for example. That means if profits are booked and earned and taxed in Cyprus, they are not taxed again in the other country.

‘Futurama’ was a big deal. People had already started to hear about me a little bit here and there, but that was the first series I booked to be a regular on.

When I was living in Los Angeles, I always booked a moisturizing milk-and-honey massage the day before flying to Spain. It was heaven – I never got dry plane skin or felt stiff from sitting in one position.

My first show was when I was a high school freshman, but it was at the junior class dance. My older friend and bandmate booked it.

I got my agents right out of school, and I booked my first commercial right away. It was always enough to not quit and do something else.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve booked an air ticket only to get to the airport and find out they killed my ticket because it goes into the system, and the program tosses a ticket that says ‘fake‘ on it. Twice I’ve gone to the counter for a KLM flight through Northwest and have been rejected.

When you book a network show as an actor, it’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, I booked a network show,’ and then it gets picked up.

A month before I booked ‘This Is Us,’ I was like, ‘Maybe I should move to Montreal and work in a coffee shop.’

The people can say what they want, but fact remains that Neymar has been booked more often than me.

How can I die? I’m booked.

I remember telling people I booked this job; they were like, ‘What is it called?’ I was like, ‘Peaky Blinders,’ and they were like, ‘What?’ It sounds ridiculous, but I like it because there’s an instant intrigue about the name.

I enjoy everywhere I’m booked to go.

My father took my mother, me, and my brother from Sicily to New York. He got us one-way tickets but booked himself a return flight. He dumped us with my mother’s parents, who had just arrived from Italy, and abandoned us. That was 1986. I didn’t see or speak to him for another 12 years. That’s cruel.

I owe a lot to my time on ‘House of Cards‘ because, up until I booked that show, I had been working consistently for 12 years, but I wasn’t working on anything that mattered in the way ‘House of Cards’ did to its audience, to casting directors, to directors and producers. The show hit this sweet spot.

I find it quite funny to see players rolling over trying to win free-kicks or get opponents booked. I’ve never done that, even at an early age. My friends would have just laughed at me.

You booked him, and you didn’t worry about crowds. For drawing power in the South, it was Roy Acuff, then God.

I didn’t have an agent before ‘Parks,’ and once you’re on a show, they’re not going to make money off of you. So if you’ve already booked something without an agent, unless they really want to hustle during the downtime, there’s seven months when they’re not going to make money off of you.

When I auditioned for The Black Canary, I only knew I was reading for a new recruit on team ‘Arrow.’ It wasn’t until I’d booked the role that they told me who I’d be playing.

I was at House Of Hardcore for Tommy Dreamer. Good guy, great guy, great eye for talent – that’s why he booked me.

One thing is that I wasn’t getting booked that well, and they had control over who got the awards, they had control over who sold. And they really did not want Willie or me, either one, to have a hit record. They wanted the money, but they didn’t want us to be the ones.

In fact, one was so booked out we went from March and were to go till November, but the pantomime was booked so they transferred the show to the Prince of Wales Theatre because it was so packed out, and it ran on from there.

I love what I do, and I’m glad that people still love what I do. I’m booked, I come there, I do my job, and I hope they like what I bring to them.

A lot of people ask me, when I mention I’m from Australia, that I must have been on ‘Home And Away,’ and I tell them was one of the few who didn’t take that route. That’s because I auditioned for ‘Home And Away,’ and I didn’t get booked, so you’d call that a knock back.

When I auditioned for The Black Canary, I only knew I was reading for a new recruit on team ‘Arrow.’ It wasn’t until I’d booked the role that they told me who I’d be playing.

I’ve always freelanced as an actor, and you always have to worry about the next paycheck. When I booked ‘True Blood,’ I promised myself I would take advantage of the fact that for the first time in my career, I could afford to turn down big money to go and do small, character-driven indies.

I booked my first national tour of a Broadway show right out of college. It was the tap show, ’42nd Street.’ I had only been tap dancing for three years when I booked that show.

When we’d suggested doing it, the Theatre Royal management had said, ‘Nobody wants to see Waiting for Godot.’ As it happened, every single ticket was booked for every single performance, and this confirmation that our judgment was right was sweet. Audiences came to us from all over the world. It was amazing.

I basically did comedy there for about a year, and then moved to New York. If I had it to do over again, I would have booked myself on the road for at least a year.

Mostly, whenever I’m booked to do instruction, I just play a little bit and get people to ask questions. We’ll play some music for ’em, ’til somebody hollers out, ‘Play ‘Milk Cow Blues‘ or ‘Play ‘San Antonio Rose.’ We play requests and demonstrate our music.

I want everyone to understand the importance of cervical screening and get one booked in if they are overdue.

I want to build a brand for myself and get booked for being me, while others will get booked for being them.

And I was booked once to go on ‘Ed Sullivan‘ and I got bumped and ran out the back door crying.

When K. Balachander saw me for the first time, he booked me for three films and asked me to learn Tamil first.

We have disappointments all the time in the business, and I’ve lost way more projects than I’ve booked. I’ve learned from every opportunity and have been chosen for some really great projects!

Most of my work has been in L.A. or booked in L.A. and shot on location.

I booked ‘Transformers‘ having no clue what I was doing. And then, all of a sudden, it was like: ‘You’ve got to get your game together fast.’ It sucks, but I’m trying.
