At Middleton – Movie Quotes

Rachmaninoff is so hard. The guy must have had hands the size of trash can lids... You know? Stay away from the Russians. You know, enjoy them. Admire their passion. But, like, don't get obsessed with playing them.

Sometimes a day can be an eternity.

— Well, your girl seemed very determined.
— Audrey. Yeah, I named her after Audrey Hepburn, but it was a serious miscalculation. I should have named her Benito.

Lesson number four: know your audience. It's all about making a connection. That's the beauty of radio. Something goes on between you and the people out there. It's living and changing moment to moment. You can't see it, but you can feel it.

First lesson of radio: don't be late. Silence is death.
