Quotes From the Show

 

“You can be the general manager, you get the office right next to the front door, not because it’s most convenient for you, it’s because it’s the shortest walk if you have to leave.”

 

“Seeing the physical object appear is a lot different than doing something that is purely academic.”

 

“That’s why when I look at how I treat people, I decided I’m just going to be nice to everybody. Because what goes around comes around.”

 

“I’m a big believer that there’s probably 100 people that you’ll meet or know if your life, that will determine what happens to you, and how you treat them is the sole determination of how your life will turn out.”
