Michael Scott (Fictional Character)

“I love babies. I think they are beautiful in all sorts of different ways. I try to pick up and hold a baby every day, if possible, because it nourishes me. It feeds my soul. Babies are drawn to me. And I think it’s because they see me as one of them. But … cooler and with my life put together a little bit more. If a baby were president, there would be no taxes. There would be no war. There would be no … government, and … things could get terrible. And actually probably it would be a better screenplay idea than a serious suggestion.”
