“One thing I noticed working in the Bronx is that leaders come in the craziest places. They don't always show up at community board meetings. Sometimes it's just the guys on the corner that the boys on the block respect.”

“Sometimes it's put me in foul trouble, but more times than not, I'm going to be that guy to come over and block the shots.”

“For ice skating, you really have to block out your fears and throw yourself into it - there must be trust in your partner and a trust that you will be safe.”
