I was initially signed to a German label a few years ago.

Actually, we got signed in November of 2000 with Dreamworks which is the most amazing label. We have friends on other labels and though we are not selling millions of records, yet, they treat us with tons of respect and give us some very good guidance.
A lot of guys don’t have to compete. They can get signed to a massive contract and they can say ‘Hey I’m good.’
I’ve gone from the edgy girl to the girl you call for H&M and L’Oreal, which is something neither I nor the myriad agencies that rejected me when I tried to get signed could have predicted.

When Chelsea signed Ashley Cole I was playing really well at the time, and we were playing against Charlton. We were 1-0 up when they equalised and immediately afterwards my number came up and I was subbed off for Ashley. I knew then that my time at Chelsea was up.
It has been, after all, 11 years, more than a decade now, of defiance of U.N. resolutions by Saddam Hussein. Every obligation that he signed onto after the Gulf War, so that he would not be a threat to peace and security, he has ignored and flaunted.
In the year after we signed with I.R.S. we made a record, started our own tour, toured with the Police, and our record went to No. 1. It was insane.
When I wrote my stories in elementary school, I signed them all ‘Karen E. Bender’ with the squiggly ‘E.’ I wanted, from an early age, to be a writer, and that name – that E – was a way of pretending I knew how to do it.

Sajid-Wajid has been signed on for ‘Rowdy Rathore.’ Sajid and Wajid are great friends of mine. I am happy that they are scoring the music for this film.
Growing up in Canada, none of my family were performers or anything like that, but I was terrible at hockey, so they needed something for me to do on Saturdays for me to get out of the house.

When I signed with Scooter Braun and I decided to go overseas to promote my song, the only concern was how should I communicate with the public and the audience with my language. Scooter and I talked a lot about that: should we translate or not? Finally we didn’t, and I think that was a really good decision.
I’ve just signed a contract to make records in Nashville. It won’t amount to much at first, but after a year or so, I will really be in the money.

From the time I signed on to ‘The Following,’ things have already vastly changed in the entertainment world in general. It’s an adjustment for me.

Each quarter, Indian IT firms publish their results, and these are broadcast on CNBC. From the comfort of their boardrooms, executives say how many new employees have been added, how many more Fortune 500 companies have been signed up as clients, how many million-dollar companies were added, and so on.
The only reason I signed on for a speech and drama course was because I thought it would be easy, but as soon as I stepped on the stage, I thought, ‘This is exactly where I belong.’
My first film would have been ‘Rough,’ and it got delayed. ‘Venkatadri Express’ released first and became a big success. I signed ‘Venkatadri’ after 15 days of shooting for ‘Rough’. I had lot of faith in the script, and I feel luck plays a major part.
When I was 17, I signed my record deal and passed my driver’s test. It was a very good year!
For a while I thought I would work in museums, so my first job after college was an internship at the 9/11 Museum. I quickly found out that I did not want to do that. So I signed up for culinary school, and directly following culinary school, I went to graduate school at McGill.
I like being signed because you have the support system. It’s all about the growth and labels give you that support you need.
I signed my first autograph when I was 11.
When I considered PSG before I signed for Juventus one thing that put me off was wondering what the point is of coming second every year.
When I got signed to the ‘Fader’ Label, they got really excited about having me as their new artist. They were promoting my music everywhere. Pharrell was one of the producers who wanted to work with me, so I was really lucky to be one of those people who got to work with him.

I’ve always known being a professional athlete is tough, let alone being a quarterback in the National Football League. There’s a lot on you, a lot of pressure on you to succeed. You take the glory and you take the falls, but that’s what I signed up to do.
I’ll remind you that the West signed a deal with North Korea, said it would make the world a safer place, and, of course, all the words evaporated, and North Korea acquired nuclear weapons.
I still remember the moment I signed ‘Viswaroopam.’ And I will never forget it.

President Theodore Roosevelt, who signed the Antiquities Act into law, created 18 monuments, including the Grand Canyon and Olympic National Park in Washington, totaling more than a million acres.
Everything has come to me without my having to look for it. I signed with Metro because someone thought I had talent, and it was the same thing with the ballet.
When I was 19, I thought I wanted to be an English civil servant. It was the most exotic thing at the time – can you imagine, in the middle of the IRA bombing campaigns? I saw an ad inviting Irish applicants for an induction course, so I signed up.
We had a showing of Battlestar in LA last week. I walked out the door and there were 50 people. I signed a ton of autographs. Other actors walked away without signing. These are the fans. I guess it depends. on who you are.
Then all this started to pick up because I signed with ForeFront when I was in seventh grade. It got a lot busier and I was traveling a lot and it wasn’t making sense. Especially at a private school, you miss two days, and you get so behind.
It was funny because on the day that I joined the club, the newspaper that broke the news was one that people don’t always trust or believe. Then, when I signed, and there were pictures of me and Sir Alex Ferguson, people believed it.

I am probably the oldest new artist Sony has ever signed.
I’m in Ring of Honor about four years. I was cast as The Sicilian Psychopath there and right from the start one thing that felt weird where I got signed after a tryout because Jim Cornette saw me and ‘Delirious’ Hunter Johnston and they really liked my promo. The match was fine, but they really liked my promo.
I never talk about a job before the contract is signed and I’ve shot the first three days.
