Danny Kenny: Well, look, kid. Here's the way I feel about it. Your business is like any other business. You either do it, or you don't. You're either a main eventer or a four-round preliminary boy. Look, down on Forsyth Street, you used to play by the hour, and I'd listen. And you'd tell me about those big shot composers who really took it on the chin and really went through the mill. Beethoven, who got the toughest break of all. Lost his hearing. He didn't quit, he didn't lay down. He just moved in and kept right on punching.
Eddie Kenny: Yes, but then what? You work, you tear your heart out, and in the end, nobody's interested. Nobody wants to hear it. They're only interested after you're dead a hundred years.
Danny Kenny: Ed, that's an alibi. That's an alibi used by guys who are afraid they can't deliver. But you can do it, and if it's good, they listen. They gotta listen!
