Storytellers broaden our minds: engage, provoke, inspire, and ultimately, connect us.

Hollywood was not a place I dreamed of getting to. I never could take seriously the obsession people have about being a celebrity or getting to Hollywood - I was born next door.

Storytelling is important. Part of human continuity.

Ambiguity is something that I really respond to. I like the complexity of it.

Lastly get emotionally connected to your story so you can deliver it, you know, if you can't deliver the emotions to your script there's no point to your story. Story is the key.

I'm not much interested in sport just as sport. I wouldn't be interested in making a golf film or baseball or fishing film.

Sport is a wonderful metaphor for life. Of all the sports that I played - skiing, baseball, fishing - there is no greater example than golf, because you're playing against yourself and nature.
