Even if somebody is maybe a little less qualified, you can bring them in, you can teach them, and it will also make your work better because you’ll have different perspectives. Even if somebody is less talented, they’re coming at it from a completely different perspective, and that helps your work. Brett Gelman Read Quote

I’ve got this inflatable Darth Vader that I stole off the roof of a Burger King. I went in and asked the girl at the counter if I could have it, and she said she didn’t care, but she wasn’t going to get me a ladder or anything like that. So I just kind of pulled myself up there, cut it loose and took off. Chad Gilbert Read Quote
