If I would have said, “Oh, the Convention Center has 73,000 square feet,” they aren’t going to remember it. But they’re going to remember a Guinness World Book of Records. They’re going to remember the inaugurations. Those are the things that you leave people with, and you can always give them the information after. Data and information is good to a point, but it can also kill you."
