“What I love about that story and what I love about Robin, is just the fact that he would do that for someone, that he would go out of his way, that he would take the time to realize that this would matter. And even if it didn’t work out, someone needed to stand up, and he did it for me. I don’t know if he ever knew how huge he was and how much I felt like he was in my corner. And how much did that really change things for me and he made me think, ‘What is the impact I want to have on the world?’ «
