A finished product is one that has already seen its better days.

The script of a play is not a finished product: It's a set of instructions.

There is no such thing as a perfect player; it doesn't exist.

The final product in a play is not just the written word. It's the production, the performance. The script is, of course, a very important piece; but it's only one element. Ultimately, yours is one of several voices. People can change your work in a play for better or worse.

Players are artists who create their own reality within the game.

It takes great salesmanship to convince a customer to buy something from you that isn't built or isn't finished.

I don't think longevity gets enough credit when you're talking about a player.

The finished product is often of less importance than the skills and confidence gained through the process and the way in which the community is strengthened through people in it work and are brought together.

Showing up to games year after year, no matter what the product on the field gives you back, is a learned behavior - sort of like rats in a maze searching for cheese. The rat learns the maze, learns where the cheese is placed and eventually goes to it without thought, even when the cheese is taken away. The rat doesn't know anything else.

The players must be at the centre of their industry.
