Most guys who don't like me are either Democrats or Yankee fans.

My father left me with a saying that I've carried my entire life and tried to pass on to our kids: 'Tough times don't last, tough people do,'

I'm not sure I can think of any scenario more enjoyable than making 55,000 people from New York shut up.
