F.X. Toole is my new hero

He's the man who wrote Million Dollar Baby, as part of a boxing stories collection called Rope Burns, and re-reading the intro last night (yeah, drunk, what) I came across this little beauty:

'About the only thing I haven't done in boxing is make money. But that hasn't stopped me any more than not making money in writing has. Both are something you just do, and you feel grateful for being able to do them, even if both keep you broke, drive you crazy and make you sick. Rational people don't think like that. But they don't have in their lives what I have in mine.'

Oh yeah and I got my blue belt in BJJ today. WAR ME.
