I've always wanted to do a boxing movie.

I tend not to look back. It's confusing.

I did have an offer to direct one of the Alien movies but I wasn't too excited about all the effects work.

Some say Hollywood movies that are made about boxing are just metaphors for other things, I think I've made one that's actually about boxing and not a metaphor.

Naturally we need black men to give this movie serious credibility.

Well, I'm about to do another western, a pilot for HBO this fall.

You as an audience can look at these things as films, but I remember them as social experiences.

I wouldn't not want to be a director and write as I wouldn't not to want to be a writer and direct movies.

I mean no film is beyond criticism, but I think we've made a very modest movie.

I get a great high from writing.

I don't much like looking back.

Obsessing over a boy makes the time fly.

June will break your heart. I can see it already. She'll shatter you into a million pieces.

Pop, I'm nothing! I'm nothing, Pop. Can't you understand that? There's no spite in it any more. I'm just what I am, that's all.

He will get through this, even if he thinks he won't.

I never thought I'd play soccer past high school, so to go from that team to actually being most-capped and three World Cups is pretty special.

There's no way we can possibly understand anything. But we can see things, we can perceive things, and we can wonder. We can just be in a world of awe and wonder. That's the best we can do.

I do cardio, but I don't like it as much. I'd rather do weights.

Woo her not till thou hast seen her mother, for a score of years worketh wonders.

We'd achieve more if we chase the dream instead of the competition.

I have English family in Northhampton and have been to England numerous times.
