Vote: | Acting is easy. Mainly because we have a lot of roles-and they're like our friends and they want to be in movies, so we put them in. |

Vote: | After a couple of years of sales, I started writing on my own. Just got the bug, I guess. I wasn't much of a writer at all... hadn't written anything. I went back to grad school for creative writing, and while there, me and a friend of mine, Bennett Yellin, whipped off a screenplay which we ended up selling. |

Vote: | As far as my brother and I, we are a great collaboration and it's fun to work with him, but it's also nice to get the hell away from him. |

Vote: | Everything's a lot easier when you work with someone you know just about as well as you know yourself. |

Vote: | I know this is silly, it's shallow, it's bad, I wish I wasn't this way-but if I meet a girl with no teeth, I just don't want to date her. It's creepy of me, I wish I was a bigger person, but that's my real turn-off. |

Vote: | Nine out of 10 times these guys will hit it-they'll be on something incredibly funny, but one out of 10, two out of 10, they'll fall flat on their faces. That's what makes them great actors: they take those chances, they don't play it safe. |
Popularity: 0
Vote: | Our feeling is that the most important thing on a set is that actors have enough confidence to try different things. If there's stress or tension, they won't go out on a limb because they won't want to embarrass themselves if they don't feel completely comfortable. |
Popularity: 1
Vote: | There are a lot of laughs in this movie, but it's not just about the laughs. It's really about the story, about a guy who finds his soul and realizes what's truly important. |
Popularity: 1
Vote: | There was nothing like 1967-being a 10-year-old kid and having that kind of year. The drama, the excitement, the winning, the tragedy. That summer was a lifetime for me. |
Popularity: 2
Vote: | We all went back to the hotel in St. Louis where the Red Sox were staying and there were a thousand Red Sox fans there. The Red Sox organization bought pizzas for everybody. We partied til 3 in the morning. I had never been to St. Louis before but I love that city. Those fans were incredible. They were pleased for us. |

Vote: | We do a lot of test screenings and we always score way higher with guys than women. |
Popularity: 1
Vote: | 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. |
Popularity: 2
Vote: | We started noticing the Red Sox back in the mid-'60s. I think my earliest memory was Dave Morehead throwing a no-hitter. But 1967 was the magical year when Yaz went crazy. |
Popularity: 1
Vote: | We've had no problems with the actors, but we keep a really loose set. |
