Random Quote

"Well—it's self- respect, really. You have to believe in yourself to have something to stand for, something to offer—or nothin's gonna happen for you. It's the American ideal that you can achieve almost anything if you put your mind to it, that you can get what you want if you just want it enough and you're prepared to tough it out. Which is probably true—I think it's true, anyway."
