Movie quotes

  • (..) The way it seems to me, you're just throwing it away. And I don't mean only money. Look, it's just something I like to do. I like the uncertainty of it. I like the threat of losing. And the idea that... I could lose, but that somehow I won't, because I don't want to. That's what I like. (..)
