Quotes from the show:
“The movie happened because it reflected for everyone who made it something that was essential to each of us.”
“All the things I aspired to do growing up with movies, I kind of transferred it over now to the world of television that I watch.”
“One of the nice things about being a manager as opposed to being an agent, it’s an unspoken but very powerfully interpreted rule that you don’t go and steal other people’s business. You just don’t do it.”
