I enjoy sports movies that don't sugarcoat. One thing that irritates me about sports movies is that they're like, 'The magic of the ball,' and 'The magic of the stadium.' It ain't that magical. When you get hit coming across the middle at 25 miles per hour, the magic's over.
I can't believe how much money I lose betting on sports. "sucker born every minute". That's me!
I think all good sports movies aren't really about sports.
I could never be a sports writer, unless my assignment was to write 'sports sports sports sports sports' for three pages.
I don't know why, but I've always been a sucker for roller coasters in movies.
Look around the table. If you don't see a sucker, get up, because you're the sucker.
I never go looking for a sucker. I look for a Champion and make a sucker of of him.
If you can't spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker.
It was a sucker punch. But you know who gets hit by sucker punches? Suckers.
Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker.
I'm really a sucker for old, old movies. Like old film noir. I don't know. I also really enjoy independent movies.
I'm a sucker for Wrigley, so I feel I'll probably be a sucker for Fenway, too.
One of my favorite movies is 'Some Like It Hot,' which isn't really a musical, but I'm just such a sucker for old movies. I wouldn't want to ever tarnish one of them, or do a spot-on remake, but just do something light like that where I get to glide across the floor. I would be a very happy camper.
Normally sports day is once a year for kids, where you have fun, and everybody is jostling. For us, making movies is like having sports day everyday: competing with each other, doing your best. It's like that except we don't get awards every day in our sports day.
I enjoy sports. I get a real joy from playing sports but I don't look for those movies. Oliver Stone wanted to know if I would do Any Given Sunday and it just didn't appeal to me.
I love movies, of course. 'Terminator 3' and 'Bad Boys II' - lots of action. Sports movies, action movies, comedies - I'll go to those, but not 'las de amor.' Not romance. It's not that I don't like love, but on the screen it bores me.
