Remember that chap about twenty years ago? I forget his name. Climbed Everest without any oxygen, came down nearly dead. When they asked him, they said why did you go up there to die? He said I didn't, I went up there to live.
Never has there been a more iconic scene from a movie for me. At every struggle in life, at every evolution point in my career, my social life, and my art, those words come up, "I never saved anything for the swim back".
I wish that this movie would have made more money. It didn't even break even, but it's one of the best movies that I've ever seen and the soundtrack is amazing. This movie has even inspired me in my own life, when I've tried to be "as good as any, and better than most" in my career.
