I found it an interesting portrait of a marriage in exploring notions of how one partner supports the other, whilst not jeopardizing the greater good - which is the family.

I just don't see where I could possibly fit in directing a feature.

But just playing the partner of someone famous, I had a lot more freedom.

There's nothing as exciting as a comeback - seeing someone with dreams, watching them fail, and then getting a second chance.

Although I'm not Christian, I was raised Christian. I'm an atheist, with a slight Buddhist leaning. I've got a very strong sense of morality - it's just a different morality than the loud voices of the Christian morality.... I can't tell you how many films I've turned down because there was an absence of morality. And I don't mean that from any sort of Judeo-Christian-Muslim point of view. I'm not saying they're wrong and can't be made. But, fundamentally, I'm such a humanist that I can't bear to make films that make us feel humanity is more dark than it is light.

I think a big part of our attraction to sport movies are the stories contained within the sports.

People going into the cities for the opportunities and the towns are getting older, no young people.
