I remember those cheers They still ring in my ears And for years they’ll remain in my thoughts. Cuz one night I took off my robe And what’d I do? I forgot to wear shorts.

As you know, my life wasn’t drab… Though I’d rather hear you cheer, When I delve into Shakespeare. “A Horse, a Horse, my Kingdom for a Horse,” I haven’t had a winner in six months. I know I’m no Olivier But if he fought Sugar Ray, He would say That the thing ain’t the ring, It’s the play. So gimme a stage Where this bull here can rage. And though I can fight, I’d much rather recite That’s entertainment!” –  Robert De Niro unforgettable in Martin Scorsese’s Raging Bull. Thanks @PaulvonMitchell for nominating.
