An interview of Wayne Gretzky when he was only 13 years old.
By the age of 10, he had scored 378 goals and 120 assists in just 85 games. By the time he was 13 years old, he had scored 1000 goals. He was already a national icon in Canada.

gretzky: “all that i can say is that i hope”
interviewer: “you would like to be a hockey player?”
gretzky: “yes or a baseball…it doesnt really matter”
Exchange 2
interviewer: “when you’re 18, how much do you think you’ll be worth? would you believe it if I say $1 million?”
