Team sports, there's always some kind of sacrifice happening... A team, if we lose, if Michael Jordan has a bad night, you hang it on him a little bit... but if you lose as a tennis player, you have no one to blame but yourself, and that's a different beast.

If a filmmaker and I don't get along, it's four weeks of your life, so, whatever. With TV, it's six years.

Every kid in America dreams of playing in the big leagues and they don't, just because. It's not because they blew out their knee. It's just because they didn't make it.

Most of the time, actors respond to the thing that's so far from who they are. We all want to play the serial killer and the ex-con.

I come from a very sporting family and played many sports as a lad.

Fantasy sports went a long way toward developing the sabermetrics formulas used not only by oddsmakers but general managers in hiring players. So the amateur fantasists ended up creating some of the algorithms that Oakland GM Billy Bean's statisticians used to win games with less salary money available for star players.

I've been blessed in many ways, but none of the heights from football can ever compare to the depths you go through when you lose a child.

I would have to consider the U.S.A. job if I was approached because it's one of the big nations in world football, with massive growth potential.
