Quotes

[on his own personality] Even playing hockey, I never could back down,from a fight, never could back down from the bully, never could back,down from somebody who was trying to push somebody else around. Maybe,it came from being that little guy who got the smack in the face a long,time ago, and nobody came to help him out.

The main thing is to keep the main thing, the main thing. .
