“My first real business was bootlegging T-shirts - I was just a dumb kid. You go to a concert and pay $25 for a cotton T-shirt that says 'Rolling Stones,' 'Lollapalooza,' or whatever. On the outside they're 10 or 15 bucks. We were the guys selling them for 10 or 15 bucks.” FirstsRealKidsGuyPayStonesSellingDumbShirtsConcertsRollingT ShirtBucksCottonRolling StonesBootlegging Author:Kevin Plank
“I noticed that difference early on, like if you were successful in rock 'n' roll, that was a really bad thing, you almost had to hide it. You had these guys selling 200 million records with dirty T-shirts on. I was like, 'Come on, man. Come on. We know you're successful.' Hip-hop is more about attaining wealth. People respect success. They respect big. They don't even have to like your music.

“I used to do fight sequences, and I started to get self-conscious about fight sequences, because invariably the other person would get hurt, and you never want anyone to be hurt on a film, let alone you being responsible. The great thing about working with guys who have spent their life choreographing fights for wrestling is that that's what they do. That's their specialty. Their specialty is selling taking hits. Their specialty is selling explosive hits without making a contact or doing too much damage.” WantPersonsSelfFilmUsedGuyFightingHurtToo MuchConsciousResponsibleGreat ThingsSellingContactDamageWrestlingSequenceSelf ConsciousBeing ResponsibleExplosivesSpecialty Author:Vin Diesel
