You can't completely control the sport - Tiger Woods comes close. The test is against yourself and nature's own way. I find golf a particularly good metaphor for this story.

As an artist I just can't think of a better life than the one I've been blessed with. It's just a great ride.

It's a creative enterprise, just like art, just like painting, music. Creating something can be done in different categories, so to do it in film is just another expression, which is great. Because it translates so well because so many people see the work, if you're lucky.

When I was a kid, nobody told me I was good-looking. I wish they had. I would've had a better time.

The technology available for film-making now is incredible, but I am a big believer that it's all in the story.

It's all about greed and money and it's the driving force in Hollywood.

Golf has become so manicured, so perfect. The greens, the fairways. I don't like golf carts. I like walking. Some clubs won't let you in unless you have a caddy and a cart.
