Quote
  • I was a better fishing guide than scout.
  • Håkan certainly is one of the best in the business. You've just got to look at his track record. … Obviously Håkan has been an MVP behind the scenes for us.
  • I would say it comes down to 30 percent hard work, 30 percent good eyes, and 40 percent luck.
