I saw a bakery truck go by with the name 'Rocco' on it, and that's when I decided to become Alex Rocco.

I saw Sir Alex once to say hello,

Start ignoring people who threaten your joy.
Literally, ignore them.
Say nothing.
Don’t invite any parts of them into your space.

I couldn't see Alex, I just saw the ball in the air and I just did what I was supposed to do and caught it.

I don't mean you have to be overbearing, but you have to stay on top of things - read the trades, know what's going on in the town. I call it 'dare to be stupid.' The worst thing they can say is, 'We got nothing for you.' So I've hustled a lot.

I learned to bet the Red Sox, the Celtics, Suffolk Downs. I thought it was a glorious life - pull up to the doughnut shop, spread out, and plan your day.
