"At the age of 12 my ambition was to become a gangster. To be a wiseguy. Being a wiseguy was better than being President of the United States. To be a wiseguy was to own the world."
"I'm an average nobody. I get to live the rest of my life like a schnook."

"If you're part of a crew, nobody ever tells you that they're going to kill you, doesn't happen that way. There weren't any arguments or curses like in the movies. See, your murderers come with smiles, they come as your friends, the people who've cared for you all of your life. And they always seem to come at a time that you're at your weakest and most in need of their help."
"Murders came with smiles, shooting people was no big deal for us Goodfellas."
"If you can't love two people at once, there's something wrong with you."
