Bill Irwin: Uncle Teddy

Quotes 

• Max's Father : Goddammit, Max! Get serious, for once! What are you going to DO with your life?

  Max : Why is it always what will I do? "What will he do", "What will he do," "Oh, my god what will he do", Do, do, do, do, do. Why isn't the issue here who I am?

  Uncle Teddy : Because, Maxwell, what you do defines who you are.

  Max : No, Uncle Teddy. Who you are defines what you do. Right Jude?

  Jude : [awkward]  ... Well, surely it's not what you do, but the, uh... the way that you do it.
