“I can’t be a hypocrite as a coach because as a player that’s what I wanted. I wanted feedback, I wanted communication from the boss.”

Even the superstars need to be coached once in awhile.

I grew up trying to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs, not Team Canada. Didn’t even know it existed.

I was a punk. I think that’s why I’m such a good person now, because I was such a bad guy then.

I was 19 years old, pumping gas and going nowhere.

You eat and sleep it all day long and play on the streets until mom calls you in.

I went to the Hall of Fame with my dad. I can’t say I really remember too much about it.

Assistant coaches become a little bit more buddies to the players than a head coach.

Growing up as a kid my father was British and a soccer player.

I showed up for work, you can yell at me if you want, but I want input. So that’s the kind of coach I want to be.

I was kind of a high school dropout at that point because I had left school to play hockey, but no one drafted me.

Our family thought if you could be unselfish your teammates would always like you.

His idol was a guy that passed the ball a lot, Stanley Matthews.

My story is no different than anybody else’s.

I was a hot-dog stand lady, I was an orphan housemother, I was a waitress 3 or 4 times. All of those jobs did not have good bosses. They basically told you what to do, when to do and when to hop. And I just didn’t like that very much.

The real bosses in the capitalist system of market economy are the consumers. They by their buying and by their abstention from buying decide who should own the capital and run the plants. They determine what should be produced and in what quantity and quality.

Good luck, boss. Don’t let’em turn you into horse meat! (Blackjack)

The audience is not your boss. They are your collaborators and when you collaborate with someone you don’t have to listen to everything they think or say.

I was well motivated. What I wanted to do was work for myself. I had twenty two jobs before I started my business at the age of twenty three and I didn’t want one more boss telling me what to do. So I was motivated simply because I didn’t want a boss.

The real bosses, in the capitalist system of market economy, are the consumers.

I don’t have any special passion for politics, it being a never-ending merry-go-round of bosses big and small, all generally mediocre. I actually find it boring.

A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.
