I don't go against the grain because I'm a contrary person.

I split my time between Santa Barbara and Aspen. I live on a pretty fast horse.

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.

Real heroes are men who fall and fail and are flawed, but win out in the end because they've stayed true to their ideals and beliefs and commitments.

I have seen soldiers panic at the first sight of battle, and a squire pulling arrows from his body to fight and save his dying horse. Nobility is not a birthright, but is defined by one's actions.

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.

The truth is, I just want do things that are original and throw an original spin on them.
