When he was 28 years old, Bruce Lee wrote this letter stating his personal goals:

My Definite Chief Aim

I, Bruce Lee, will be the first highest paid Oriental super star in the United States. In return I will give the most exciting performances and render the best of quality in the capacity of an actor. Starting 1970 I will achieve world fame and from then onward till the end of 1980 I will have in my possession $10,000,000. I will live the way I please and achieve inner harmony and happiness.

Bruce Lee
Jan. 1969

Cary Grant does not wear your Ed Hardy bullshit. Note: “My temerity is at a low ebb today”. Dude was all class. I’m going to make an effort in writing in this fashion from now on and use the term “swagger out” as much as possible.
