Growing up with my brothers all boxing has stood me in good stead for nights like these. You should have seen some the fights we used to have in our front room.
I'm not a troublemaker. People say, 'You got into a lot of incidents.' Yeah, but it was on the basketball floor.
Yes, I am physical but never go looking for fights. I have been in my share of them but never looked for them.
Kids don't fight in minor hockey anymore. There's very few fights in junior and college hockey. So growing up, all these guys are not fighting.
Well, I have been in physical altercations, but they weren't really fights because I am too scared and Jewish. So anytime that it gets to a point where there is gonna be a fight, I immediately apologize.
James Franco is a Method actor. I respect Method actors, but he never snapped out of character. Whenever we'd have to get in the ring for boxing scenes, and even during practice, the dude was full-on hitting me.
In the year 2013, I fought six times. I fought four times in two-and-a-half months.
I can't remember the last time I went to a game and there was a fight. I think they fight more in baseball now than they do in hockey.
I was tough at a very young age, where I was just fighting all the time.
I usually play characters that are a lot different than me. I mean, I'm never in a fight in a movie and if I'm in them, I'm usually losing.
I was a little kid who used to fight a lot in the street-and get beat up.
Sometimes people ask, 'Are hockey fights real?' I say, 'If they weren't, I'd get in more of them.
I used to get into a lot of fights.
These days I smile benignly at the fights that I see in NBA games. There aren't any broken noses or black eyes, which happened quite often when I played.
I'm not a guy that ever got in a fight on the street and with the public and everybody.
I guess I'm lucky to have been blindsided. I'm lucky to have gotten into fistfights, in a way. I'm lucky I learned how to stop them.
Anybody who says they don't like fighting in the NHL have to be out of their minds.
I cannot remember a time when I was not getting into fights.
I don't shoot guns. I don't know how to do that. I grew Upstate New York, so I fought with my fists.
I have been in my fair share of both onscreen and off screen fights.
The only actor who I think probably might have possibly taken a swing at me if he could have would be Burt Reynolds. He used to call Roger and me the Bruise Brothers, out of Chicago.
I was a bouncer when I was in DePaul in Chicago at the theater school. I threw drunks out of bars - unless I had a play running that weekend. But I only had two actual fights. Some were like out of old Westerns.
I can't tell you how many fights I had where I had to pay to go fight. It was a lot of them.
I got in a lot of fights growing up, and not just basketball fights.
I have always done my own stunts, and I have been in hundreds of fights in films, but I have never been in a fist fight outside the movies.
