“I'd rather deal with a Mob guy shaking hands on a deal than a Hollywoo...” — Albert S. Ruddy Quote

“I'd rather deal with a Mob guy shaking hands on a deal than a Hollywood lawyer, who, the minute you get the contract signed, is trying to figure out how to screw you.”

“You should get as close to the power when you're pitching something. I got my two biggest breaks with the man who owned CBS and the guy that owned Paramount, because I was dealing with the guy who would say yes or no.”

“'Atlas Shrugged,' let's face it, was probably the most important novel of the 20th century that was never a film.”

“You can never really relax until you've signed that contract with your team.”

“People say what they want in interviews, but when they get a contract, they say other things.”

“Honestly, I'm sure the WWE's not looking for 47-year old rookies and that's fine with me. The timing of my career worked out where when I might have been interesting to them, were times that I was under contract with TNA or Ring of Honor and that's fine with me.”
