It's especially gratifying to have done a film like 'Eight Men Out' because it's hard not to have fun when there are so many bats and balls around.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We work in an environment where your options are to do, you know, Batman 10, so when you get to do a movie that's a really great film like this, people really step up to the plate and enjoy it.
I'd like to think at some point instead of it being a woman's film or a man's film, it is just a great story, and both sexes can go and get the same enjoyment out of it.
The whole point of film for me is that it's such a joy. It's such a wonder. The possibilities are literally endless in terms of what you can creatively do.
I was much entertained last summer with a tame bat, which would take flies out of a person's hand.
There's no point in making films unless you intend to show us something special, otherwise just go out and watch a play.
Film can be exciting, but more often, it's tedious.
I know, a lot of the films I've done, it's obvious I'm going to beat up six guys and just walk out the door. There's not a lot of motivating factors - it's just action for the sake of action.
Let's face it, making movies is all risk. Most of the time, batting average-wise, the reward does not outweigh the risk.
Cricket is my passion; it is my first love. So I will not act in my movies, as they will just be a side business for me.
I probably haven't even seen ten of the films I've done. I don't get a joy out of it, and I don't go to the movies.
