As an actor, the minute you start getting real in interviews, you lose mystery.

When you look at golf films before us they're all - garbage or satire. A lot of sports films tend to vilify the opposition. Where the opposition becomes this big angry monster, so big you can't beat him.

The big thing for actors is the level of commitment.

I didn't jump onto anyone else's coattail and ride their wave.

I turned down twelve films last year... Huge money films, but I had no respect for the writer or the work.

I was doing stand up comedy when I was 11, that's how I got started; not because I wanted to do comedy, but because we were broke, living in Echo Park in Downtown Los Angeles, from 1986, I saw the Rodney King riots; my parents didn't really work. But I wanted a new backpack, that's how I got into this business - I wanted a new backpack.

I've been in fights, but that doesn't make me cool or like a tough guy or more interesting actor, I'm not proud of it.
