It was so weird that I would end up directing 'The Greatest Game Ever Played,' because, y'know, I'm not a big golfer myself. But I grew up around the game. My mom and dad kind of built their dream house off the 11th fairway of Shady Oaks Country Club in Fort Worth.
It's very liberating to be naked in front of a hundred people, but there's nothing sexual about lovemaking on a movie set.
My father always read obituaries to me out loud, not because he was maudlin or morbid, but because they were mini biographies.
I didn't have a normal background - I was completely demented from a very early age!
It's easy to get jaded. It's easy to get lazy. It's easy to get too self-centric, like, 'Why me? What about my needs?' It has nothing to do with that. But you see, you are the thing you are selling whether you are a director or an actor in this business. It's very tough. The town doesn't realize that its greatest resource is its people.
