But I can tell you this: Nothing will happen up there that can duplicate my life down here. That life cannot be better than the one I've lived down here, the football life. It's been perfect.

I've always believed in making films that you make the little decisions with your head, but you make the big decisions with your heart.

Life is good. Football is better.

To me, football is very personal. Even as a kid, I looked at football in dramaturgical terms. It wasn't the score that interested me, it was the struggle.

I don't go to games as much as I used to because of the NFL's Sunday Ticket. So I'll watch the games, take notes.

Football is a sport of emotions, and we have to capture that in our films.

I blew the college boards, and to ease the snub from Harvard made a tour of Europe.
