Can you stand up...

[audience talking/laughing]

Male 1: Alright, Quin, come on.

Male 2: He's got that stand.

Female 1: Who was a communication role model

for you and why?

Quin: Well, there's a lot of people I could talk about

that are, uh...

[clears throat]

an idol of mine in communications,

but I think if I had to pick... one...out of...dozens, um...

I guess I would pick, uh...JFK.

Um...and not necessarily because of...what was said

or what he represented,

but moreover, how he could say it

and get you completely fired up about it.

And obviously, I was not alive at the time,

but...I often go back and look

at some of, even, his less-famous speeches.

And the way that he just tore Nixon apart on TV,

like, right in front of the country,

and did it with tact and class,

I think, was...one of the things that make...that draws me to him

as a public-speaking idol.

Um...JFK did it with tact and class,

and that's why he's mine.

Female 1: Alright, thank you.
