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

I think family movies have gotten so rich in this country.

We grew up as kids watching those movies and we were exposed to themes of civil rights, unfairness, bigotry and fathers struggling against the kind of mob of the town, so you remember how you felt as a kid being taken seriously, that you are part of the human drama.

Acting is like playing, while directing is really fun, sort of like an orgy.

I think baseball - the baseball genre - is this mitt, to use a double pun there, to catch a whole bunch of themes.

I'm so motivated to collaborate with people and help them realize the kind of collective vision.
