"I like Joe; what you see is what you get,"
"He's going to hold me accountable, and as he holds me accountable, he's going to give me a lot of responsibility as well, which I'm excited for,"
"I know he's going to hold me to a really high standard, and if I slip up or anything, I know he's going to be right there to make sure I get right back on the path."
