I want no epitaphs of profound history and all that type of thing. I contributed. I would hope they would say that, and I would hope somebody liked me.

They say Rome wasn't built in a day, but I wasn't on that particular job.

I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one.

It's the transformation that drives me. I want to do it all and never want to be boxed into something as a particular type or style. I never want people to think they know me. I hope to build a repertoire that one can look at and say, from to role to role, 'Was that Brian Tee?'

My hope is that history will continue to repeat itself,

Don't send me flowers when I'm dead. If you like me, send them while I'm alive.
