stars bumps life-is
We all have to have our north star that we fix on and go to, but life is so much about the things that bump into you.
sports cutting thinking
I think if you want to make a good sports movie, you've got to cut down on the sports. You have to make it about people. You can't try to impress people with your knowledge and the X and O's and all the details and the technicalities.
things-in-life want cool-things
It's such a cool thing in life to get what it is you want. Most of the time we don't, but occasionally we do.
giving-up dont-give-up people
I don't give up. I'm a plodder. People come and go, but I stay the course.
beautiful beautiful-women closest
Being a celebrity is probably the closest to being a beautiful woman as you can get.
hero men thinking
I think there are good men and women in all decades. We've grown cynical. And look at what we do to all our heroes: Churchill, FDR, Kennedy, they all had affairs. But heroic things happen every day.
dream ocean thinking
I think one of the first things to go as people's lives start to go down is their dreams. Dreams should be the last thing to go - dreams are the things you go down with. If you're left clinging to a piece of driftwood in the middle of the ocean, I'd put on it the word dreams.
should persons
The movies helped define how I should be as a person.
hard-work schedules bothered
It's never bothered me to work hard. I've probably worked on some of the longest schedules in movie history.
horse santa-barbara splits
I split my time between Santa Barbara and Aspen. I live on a pretty fast horse.
american-history
I like American history.
kids forever dying
I want to live forever, and I know I won't. I'm not afraid of dying. I'm only afraid of one thing: not being able to raise my kids.
sports want too-much
If you want to make a great sports movie, don't put too much sports in it. It's the backdrop. It's the environment.
hero son one-day
If you're going to tear down a hero, you should never forget that you're tearing down someone else's hero. You're tearing down somebody else's son. You might have to face her one day.
