"I had developed a friendship with (Schwartz) three or four years ago and he stayed in touch with me. When I fired my agent, he was the guy that I really trusted. That's the guy who I went with."</p> </p> "This is for the future; it was more of a business move," he said. "Fried and those guys who I was with, they were good guys, I have nothing bad to say about them. It was nothing personal. I just wanted to put myself in the best situation to grow." -- <font color="#000000">Seattle Post-Intelligencer</font></p></div></div>
