Again, I don't really remember much of this, to be completely honest with you, Sean. But my mom says I just got very bored in school. And my performance started to sort of go down. I started to... really kind of clash with teachers a lot. And I think by the time I got to high school, just really had zero interest in school.
I didn't have a choice but to be there, but I had no interest in it at all by that point. You had to enter trouble? I did, but not that much because fortunately by that point I had gotten into boxing and boxing was, I mean, I think it saved my life because I think it really kept me focused on this goal. I mean, I wanted to be a professional fighter.

And even by the time I was 14 years old, I mean, I was training six hours a day. Wow. So I was, you know, training in the morning, training middle of the day at school, training when I got home. And so it was my life was basically training and working at the restaurant.

I mean, I didn't socialize. I didn't go. I didn't have time to do anything else. You know, I was working at the restaurant and I was training. I mean, you say it saved your life?

Well, because I think, like, I look at a lot. I look at, like, I don't think, I think I had poor judgment as a young kid, which a lot of young boys have. And I look at some of the kids that I grew up with and I see where they wound up. And... I just don't know which side of that fence I would have been on, right?

I mean, there are kids I grew up with that were 10 years after high school or in jail for armed robbery. You make a dumb decision. You can do a dumb thing and change your life forever. And I don't have the confidence to say I would have never been one of the guys that made that dumb decision or been at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Because I also don't, like, I don't look at myself, I certainly didn't look at myself back then as a leader. I don't think I was a huge follower, but I was mostly just in my own world. But I think if I wasn't in that world, I could have easily wanted to impress one of the older, tougher kids. And that's how you get sucked into these stupid, stupid things.

And it could be stupid things like, there was a kid in my high school And we used to play this game, which was so idiotic, where we would jump into the subway trains and play chicken to see who could get out last. And sure enough, one of the kids didn't get out. Oh, shit. And so, you know, you just like... Did you see that? No, I wasn't there. But I knew his brother very well.
