I'm a sucker for sports movies.

No one wants to watch anybody play baseball in a movie. What is interesting is what baseball means or sports in general means to those people doing it.

If you look at professional baseball in New York, you can get all 162 Yankee games on television anytime you want. But people still go to the ballpark because they are two different experiences. It's the same with film.

There's certainly a large literature around baseball in the U.S.

I'm not much interested in sport just as sport. I wouldn't be interested in making a golf film or baseball or fishing film.

I grew up in baseball stadiums. It was my two brothers and baseball around me all the time. I knew nothing about film or acting or theater when I was young!

I always wanted to do a baseball book; I love baseball. The problem is that a very large part of my following is in non-baseball playing countries.

I loved 'Moneyball,' I thought that was a great Hollywood movie. I like baseball, but I don't know that you have to like baseball to like that. I thought it was really well done.

I think a big part of our attraction to sport movies are the stories contained within the sports.

I don't like baseball movies. I like movies about moral courage and people who are indomitable and courageous and right.
