QUOTABLES:

“There's always somebody who has an in. And if you're not getting told no, then you're probably not reaching out enough; you're not getting out of your comfort zone enough and just going for what it is that lights you up.”

“If you're ever over it in this business, it's too many hours and too hard to maintain relationships to have that type of jaded attitude towards it, if that makes sense. It's a very slippery slope, once you start to not really care about what you're doing anymore. So pay attention to that energy all of the time.”
