Quotes: 


~And when he went off the deep end he trashed all his gear, I was the first guy he called.


~A true publicist is somebody who has a good track record and is well known in various circles, has a reputation with industry standards and stuff, not somebody who just says I'm a promo guy.

~I’ll send your dog some cookies.

~If you have dependencies. . . And there's demons. . . Well, you know, you could pick up the phone and call somebody, and they can get you help. . . And we've all dealt with those artists and those people, whether it was friends, family, or a colleague.

~It wasn't the fact that they were missing interviews. It was just how they were acting to me as a person and a businessman

~Am I talking shit, or is Michael Brandvold talking shit? (SPOILER: Neither of us were talking shit). 

~Jack namedrops John Bambino. . . again. . .
