“The way that I could describe Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, it was just glowing. What connects them is that they share the same goals. They love kids and that is just a connection right there. When you love kids the conversation is endless. It's forever.” (Agre Peter)

I am a leader. Leaders always get heat. They're always going against the grain. Jimi Hendrix got heat; Bob Marley got heat; Miles Davis got heat. Every great artist got heat. Heat means you're doing something right. (Agre Peter)
I just got into the Beatles a couple years ago, you know, I like it. (Agre Peter)
