Quotations

[repeated line] Yo, how you doin'?

[visiting his old house as he thinks about Adrian] I remember when she was standing there all nervous and shy with that small smile... And all I wanted her to do was trust me... And she did... she did...

I'll leave it on the steps... Steps.

I stopped thinking the way other people think a long time ago, you gotta think like you think.

It's your right to listen to your gut, it ain't nobody's right to say no after you earned the right to be what you wanna be and do what you wanna do.

I think every guy should at one time try to name an animal or something.

I feel like a kangaroo... all this stuff in my pocket.

You know, a lot of people come to Las Vegas to lose. I didn't.

Hey don't hit me, I'm brittle.
