  • Great quotes from Michael:

    If you stick with anything you see success at some level.

    You can think you know something about someone and not know anything of significance.

    It [his faith] is so brand new. It’s like a set of shoes out of a box that I don’t really know what to do with.

    Working on patience is as hard as working on your comedy set.

    He’ll find you anywhere even if it’s in front of a Subway restaurant on a Tuesday.
