car finest liked porsche sports talking
I've always liked speed. I own a car that I shouldn't be talking about because I'm an environmentalist, but the 1955 Porsche Spyder 550 RS is the finest sports car ever made.
sports baseball golf
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.
sports golf tests
You can't completely control the sport - Tiger Woods comes close. The test is against yourself and nature's own way. I find golf a particularly good metaphor for this story.
sports people important
The important thing about a sport is the people who devote their lives to it.
sports baseball golf
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.
believe great love
It's such a great city. I would love to come there again, believe me.

I'm not sure you can have an event like that anymore. When we made the film, as you can see, we had dial phones, there was no Internet, there was no cable, there was no computerization of our culture, and so one event like this -- one scandal -- could command that kind of attention.

action talk
Talk is not enough. It has to go to action and that is where we are right now.

Sundance is about storytelling. Storytellers can broaden our minds: engage, provoke, inspire, and ultimately, connect us.

Sundance Institute shares with BAM a commitment to championing new ideas and diverse voices and to developing audiences for innovative film, theater and music.
beginning bound create criticized fail happy
We could create something that was criticized in the beginning as bound to fail because it wasn't commercial. And it has worked, and I'm happy with it.
babies dollar shelf
This was made before 'Million Dollar Baby'... but this was put on the shelf for so long.
