(on one of his more-famous characterizations) "Over the years, kids have come up to me in places like supermarkets, and hit me and said things like, 'You hurt Ralph (Macchio)!' It makes me feel like the Darth Vader of the contemporary cinematic world. As 'Sensei Jon Kreese,' I'm truly hated and I love it. I had no idea how much anxiety people would be releasing by hating this character."
