“I had no money, no grades, no athletic ability. Nothing but hope.” — Rudy Ruettiger Quote

“I had no money, no grades, no athletic ability. Nothing but hope.”

“You see, my movie isn't about football, or about Notre Dame. It's about hope, about the human spirit.”

“You want people to have a positive outlook on life. No matter what they go through, there's hope. I represent that message.”

“We were a sport-oriented family. Because I was athletic, I made friends easily.”

“I don't have a type. I've dated so many different types, different personalities, different looks - from athletic to very non-athletic. The only thing I have to have is someone who is really motivated in life and challenges me. If I don't have that, I get bored.”

“I've always been athletic my entire life and loved sports.”
