You know, you put me in a name that's got to do with prejudice when you know nothing about me. I am a multi-cultured individual. I take from all cultures. Look at me. I am a product of many cultures as a young, Irish man. I know he wasn't saying that I am that person, but it put me in that bracket and I did not appreciate that one bit.

“I make no excuses. It is what is it. I came up short. I took a chance, it didn't pay off. I'll be back.”

“I just want to swing a few lefts and a few rights for a couple of hundred mill in peace.”
