Quotes by Aaron Draplin:
“If the work is strong enough, hopefully, it will illicit a response, and I get hired for the next gig.”
“There is this weird midwestern work ethic shift that haunts me to this day. That’s why I work so much.”
“People are really good at saying, ‘No.’ You won’t get that out of me.”
“I took the money. They are going to get the service they paid for.”
