The said: "He's not always right, but his approach is dead on. He's the most truthful. You have to be very straightforward in this business."
"You gotta learn to speak your mind because if not you get cluttered with everybody else."
"Eventually you start lying and you don't have an identity any more. Whether he's right or wrong, his opinion is his opinion. But a lot of the time he's dead on."
