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.
A lot of people like to think that golf is a lazy man’s sport. Or it’s a rich man’s sport, or it’s a sport that they can’t be involved in.
Agents are used to the parents pimping. They’re not used to the kid pimping.
Every actor chooses their story at the beginning.
Hey, I’m a human being also.
My life is okay, my life is pretty good.
I didn’t jump onto anyone else’s coattail and ride their wave.
I didn’t read the book on how to be a well-adjusted celebrity.
I got accepted at Yale but never went.
I got kicked out of every school I ever went to.
I have a hard time with free time.
I trained more than anybody ever in a golf film ever made – my swing is pretty hot.

You never really meet a human being until you live with them or know them for awhile, so this is my clown and they understand that and so these interviews don’t bother them.
My family, my parents are hippies.
I am a season ticket holder to Dodger games. I go to every Dodger game I can go to. Every single one.
There is no grand strategy. My sensibilities push me in a certain direction. Other actors have different sensibilities. That’s all. I think it really is that simple. There’s no grand strategy. There are so many variables that I have no control over. I sign on to movies I want to watch, as a fan.
The big thing for actors is the level of commitment. So, if you know something’s already happened, there’s not a whole lot of whys and hows that go down. You just innately commit ’cause it happened. It does help with commitment.
It’s good filmmaking when you don’t have to say anything and you can still tell the story.
You have to be a master to teach.
If you’re tired of starting over, stop giving up.
