Nick Johnson Quotations

The further you get into technology, the further you go into gaming. That's the general rule.

A lot of the things that until now seemed unthinkable are starting to be thinkable.

It's a new year. We didn't get it done but we've got to get it done the next day.

It's very frustrating. We had some opportunities, and we didn't get it done. I had runners on second and third with one out. You have to find a way to get it in.
