Tweetable Quotes"I think it was confidence, more than anything, believe it or not, I can be an introvert. And I'd be very shy at parties and things like that. You know until I got whacked or something. But and that's not whacked in America. That's something completely different."
"I think you're right, and so I'm grateful for more than one thing. You know what I mean? Yeah, I think that was the part of it all. Yes, yes, the work ethic, because when you do get in, then you go to work."
"I'd be lying if I said that I went out and founded a company in America. In fact, they're the biggest in what they do in communications. They actually contacted me and asked if I'd be interested in doing interviews."
