Important Quotes:
“We all make a lot of mistakes along the way, and the secret is to try to learn what those mistakes are and avoid them. And if it means having other good people around to do the things that you can’t do perfectly, and you can focus on what you do. Well, that’s a secret.”
“You can make up for some of your areas of lesser skill by having other partners part of the team.”
“History and politics is one of the things that intrigue me, because when I show these to people who’ve never heard of or seen metals before, they’re fascinated.”
