A Quote by Mike Rowe
We need to tell better stories of men and women who master a trade. We have to stop telling kids to blindly follow their passion and show them the opportunities that exist. That was the big, overarching message of 'Dirty Jobs.'

We need more female directors, we also need men to step up and identify with female characters and stories about women. We don't want to create a ghetto where women have to do movies about women.

I think that is what we do by preserving and telling our stories. If you don't tell your stories, other people will tell their story about you.
