But it just affected me more than,
I think, it would affect other people.

:16:06
"Hey, four eyes, hey, cross-eyes."
:16:08
"You got rusty fenders on your bicycle."
:16:11
"Your bike isn't as good as our bike."
:16:13
"Hey, Jew boy."
:16:14
Or, "You're not Catholic,
so you're no good. "

:16:18
I can remember times
when kids would be going to dances...

:16:22
and I would leave a dance,
like, 11:00 at night.

:16:25
I'd leave a dance for no reason
and say, "I'll show them."

:16:28
And go and run on a track
for two or three hours.

:16:32
Or go home and lift weights.
:16:35
I got involved in all the peewee sports
most kids play, hockey and so forth.

:16:39
Then when I got into high school...
:16:41
and I made all-state
and all-American in football.

:16:45
I was doing very well with the Jets
until I got injured.

:16:50
That was my biggest thing, to go
on a football field and be so feared.

:16:53
I wanted to be put in a cage
and rolled out, like in a circus.

:16:58
Big bars with chains and everything.
And then just hope like hell...

:17:02
that everybody would run off the field
when they saw me coming.

:17:04
Let's give him a big welcome, Mike Katz.
:17:33
In every contest I ever won...
:17:37
or ever lost, I always got
the most applause...

:17:39
and the people were most for me.
:17:45
When I went to the Mr. Universe
contest in '72...

:17:49
and in '73 and in '74...
:17:52
I knew, even though
I didn't win the contest...

:17:54
when I go to South Africa this year,
I'm sure the same thing is gonna happen.

:17:58
The crowd is gonna be for me.
