I'm no longer dependent on the movie business to make a living. So if I want to make movies as other old guys would play golf, I can.

It was so weird that I would end up directing 'The Greatest Game Ever Played,' because, y'know, I'm not a big golfer myself. But I grew up around the game. My mom and dad kind of built their dream house off the 11th fairway of Shady Oaks Country Club in Fort Worth.

I wish I could play the lead role in one movie, one great movie.

Actually, I am a golfer. That is my real occupation. I never was an actor. Ask anybody, particularly the critics.

Very few movies I've done I regret being involved in.

I'd love to do a movie like 'Bullitt.'

I'd really like to do a movie again with Tim Robbins and Clint Eastwood. They were really good guys.

I wish I was making movies back in the days when John Ford made movies and you were a director under contract to a studio. John Ford had years when he made three movies in a year.

I would love to get into feature films; I'm willing to do an action flick, I'm willing to do a romantic comedy.
