QUOTES:  

Quincy

1.  What I thought about Mike before I met him and knew him as a person was completely limited by the ‘outside looking in perspective.’ (13:20 – 13:28)

2. It’s extremely important to understand that just because you have an assumption or an idea of what you think someone or something is like, there’s nothing wrong with that… What's most important… is that you don’t allow your assumptions to prevent you from seeing what’s actually true. (14:51–15:15) 

Mike

1. You learn more about people when things suck, when nothing’s going right. (32:45 –32:49) 
2. Those lessons are the best ones to learn. Going on in life I can think back to all those times people helped me. Listen, I’m not one of these stories you look back on and I’m patting myself on the chest. I’ve had help all along the way, my family’s been incredible, I got the best friends on the planet… I’ve been blessed all along the way.   (36:36 –36:59) 
3. I enjoy learning the hard way and I think the biggest thing you learn is failing is fine, it’s acceptable. You learn if you do things the right way and you put the work in. (39:42 – 39:58) 
4. The biggest jump in quality I ever took in my career was the day when, like, Robbie Keane came, and I started watching this man…when I’m surrounded by Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane, David Beckam… I got to watch these guys and I remember almost my entire first season like literally watching these guys every day. I know its cliché, when you guys say watch this player…. I think my ability to be humble enough to realize that Robbie Keane is the player I would dream to be, or that David Beckham never takes a day off. (42:08 – 42:44) 
5. I was always thinking. I probably spent more time not necessarily thinking what I wanted to do, but what the game needed. (48:11 – 48:17)
