We really love all sports but we don't think in the long term. The reason we did Kingpin was because there was a script we really liked and we saw the possibilities.

They wanted me to play more sports because they were acutely sensitive to their children being one hundred percent American and they believed that all Americans played sports and loved sports.

I love sports. Anytime I can combine sports with a film I'm a happy guy. It's such a natural fit because sports always seems to be a metaphor for life. Always always always.

We should reach out to people to try to go after the fans the way other sports do. Because we can't just depend on the fact that it is a great game.

I wanted to be a sportswriter because I loved sports and I could not hit the curve ball the jump shot or the opposing ball carrier.

Cheerleading gave me a love of sports which I brought to the Senate. I can talk to the good ol' boys about college sports because I follow it like they do.

I don't read a lot of the sports because I think people sometimes either build it up or you have this guy that hates sports that is going to write bad about it so I figure I'm not going to read it. Because I'm not going to let him put an idea into my head.

Yeah I think it motivates you as people start to count you out. It doesn't make you play any harder because every time you go out on the field you give 110 percent but it does give you more of an edge mentally knowing that you were in the same situation because in sports you always find yourself behind.

Because I just like sports I like athletics and I like competition.

I never thought I'd make the pages of 'Sports Illustrated ' because I've always been skinny.

One of the reasons I'm an actor is because I was no physical specimen as a child. I wasn't athletic and didn't have any prowess in that regard. Growing up in Kentucky most little boys were trying to get into sports and it was very competitive so that was not to be. But I did want to do something.

I would never encourage my children to be athletes - first because my children are not athletes and second because there are so many people pushing to get to the top in sports that 100 people are crushed for each one who breaks through. This is unfortunate.

When a sports movie really works it gets you on all levels because the stakes are high. It's black and white. It's win or lose.

I remember when I was growing up I always wore glasses and so if I was on-stage or just being able to move around playing sports I was never really able to because I had glasses holding me back. Wearing contacts has just been very helpful.

I would venture to guess that if I was a construction worker... who requested a transfer to another department for the betterment of his family I would be commended for it. But because it's sports there's just so much passion added to it.

It's a little bit in the genes because my brother is a journalist and my father was a sports writer.

I grew up playing sports but now I feel like I can't because if I get injured I'll impair whatever film I'm working on.

I've always kind of had an interest in the drums but nothing else. The drums are the only thing I feel I would be good at because I'm a very physical person. I've always played sports and stuff. Drums would give me something to do.

I like every single actor or actress in the world because we never know what the conditions are like when they are working. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt and root for them like a psychotic sports fan.

Sport is a wonderful metaphor for life. Of all the sports that I played - skiing baseball fishing - there is no greater example than golf because you're playing against yourself and nature.

I never really was that passionate about playing sports. But when I was at this Mt. Herman school I did have the ability to throw the frisbee. So when this sport evolved it was fun because I was good at it.

Some people train for certain sports and I want to train to be able to hold a super heavy electric guitar and carry luggage around myself because I always have to have 7 000 pairs of shoes. Who cares about sports?

The bottom line is what we do might not be the safest so there is always some risk but we are ready to take that into account because we love racing and we love motor sports and it is dangerous.

If they asked me I did two shifts. I did sports I did news because I loved it.
