I directed a movie back in the '90s which had calf roping in it, and I got into it quite a bit back then.
I could never hold a job for more than three months, which works out well because that's how long a movie shoots.
I have a resistance to change in things that I feel comfortable with and that I'm used to.
Jesus himself talked about prayer and meditation. Anything that brings you closer to the Lord, what's wrong with that?
I love being a dad, and I'm good at it. Kids teach you about life, like how not to focus on yourself so much.
I would like my kids to follow their bliss.
Everybody just wants to be famous first, and then maybe learn how to act.
For many years, I was obsessed about what I was eating, how many calories it had, and how much exercise I'd have to do.
Going to the golf course every day for work? That's a good job.
Golf is meaningless, but it means so much.
I can't hit a ball more than 200 yards. I have no butt. You need a butt if you're going to hit a golf ball.
What they will do is, you know the tabloids. They'll take one element of a story that may be true and they'll build everything around it. Take a picture and invent a story around it.
What I find is that we're all human beings and that it's all very similar, what we believe. At the bottom, there's really not that much difference between Christians and Muslims and Hindus and Buddhists. We all worship God.
There's no way that I could do a 9 to 5 job. There's no way. I was not cut out for that. You come in and you work for three months on the one job. They say, 'Great,' you know, and you're on to the next one - and you never even got fired. It's wonderful.
