Not some BS, just lip service, but someone seeing you and being like, I like what you're doing. Like you're moving in the right direction.

And then every two weeks I would get a call

Dude, I will never forget this moment. There's a scene where Matt Damon has to be really annoyed because we as a scientist are taking too long to figure this thing out.

I think I like... The great... Bless him. The great Robin Williams had this really funny joke when he won the Academy Award for Good Will Hunting. He said to Gus Van Sant, the director, thank you for being so subtle. You're subliminal. And sort of the thing about Gus Van Sant is that people say is he's so great at casting that he just kind of says, I cast you for a reason.
