Waxing On: The Karate Kid and Me

by Ralph Macchio

You and I, the audience, the fans. We keep that legacy alive.

Beautiful

Who can forget LaRusso in his camouflage pants and tucked-in plaid shirt? No belt, of course.

I believe in owning one’s choices, whether good or bad.

“It’s okay to lose to opponent. Must not lose to fear.”

Youth is wasted on the young.

Daniel LaRusso is precious to me, and they know that. He’s worth it.

A humble and sincere thank-you, from . . . . . . the kid who got the part.
