George C. Scott: Cus D'Amato

Quotes 

• Cus D'Amato : What's the difference between the hero and the coward? There ain't no difference. They both feel exactly the same on the inside: they both fear dying and getting hurt. It's what the hero does that makes him a hero. And what the other doesn't do, makes him a coward.

• Cus D'Amato : I already trained two world champions. You're gonna tell me what to do?

• Cus D'Amato : [to a young Mike Tyson]  Don't be scared of going into a fight, it's when you're AIN'T scared, that's the time to worry, because fear is the friend of every good and reasonable athlete.

• [repeated line] 

  Cus D'Amato : Who ate my ice cream?

• Cus D'Amato : You allow yourself to be distracted, you allow yourself to fail. Everybody get back to your work.

• Cus D'Amato : Rocky Marciano never allowed himself the thought of losing, he never imagined it.
