Throughout my life, I have valued relationships far more than the professionalism.

I have relationships with people I'm working with, based on our combined interest. It doesn't make the relationship any less sincere, but it does give it a focus that may not last beyond the experience.

I think it really makes a difference when you know the people that you're working with, when you develop a relationship.

Especially when you're working so closely with people and you have to develop intense relationships, it's great when you have a relationship and a rapport with them.

Sometimes spending time with someone who is perceived as 'successful' can make us feel less successful.

A relationship will be futile if it's based just on physicality. Intellectual stimulation is a must for me.

The relationships we have with people are extremely important to success on and off the job.

All the things you're not supposed to do at the beginning of your professional life - transgressiveness, arbitrariness and violating expectations - you find more attractive at the end of your professional life.

A relationship requires a lot of work and commitment.
