Danh ngôn của D. B. Sweeney (Sứ mệnh: 3)

Romantic comedies are particularly hard to make.
If I go to a baseball game, I hear 'Shoeless Joe,' but otherwise, I hear 'toe pick' five times a day. No matter how many more movies I make, that'll be on my gravestone.
The problem with most Hollywood movies is they don't give the director enough control.
I like hanging around the set and learning how people do things, how the set runs.
Hire the best people, and trust what you hired them to do.
I didn't know anybody in show business, and I never thought it was the path I'd go down. I was hoping it was sports, like so many kids.
I had a teacher senior year in high school. He was a theater teacher, and he basically was a little bit like 'High School Musical.' He kind of encouraged the jocks to get involved with the plays. I did it as kind of a senior year lark.
To anybody who says to me, 'I'm in character,' I say, 'You should be in an asylum.' If you don't know that you're pretending, then you should really seek medical help. I don't have patience for that stuff.
It took me a long time to realize you don't choose what you're famous for.
Whether or not your person wins or loses, give him a chance.
When I played sports, if you lose the game, and then you complain, that makes you a sore loser. That doesn't make you protester - that just makes you a whiner.
I've been doing this for 33 years, and sometimes you make movies and nobody cares. But when people care, it's the greatest thing in the world - even when it's passionately against the title - because it's going to start a conversation.
The great thing for me about 'The Resurrection of Gavin Stone' is it's a throwback to the old fashioned Hollywood movie that you can watch with your family, has a message, and is funny and entertaining. They didn't call them faith-based movies; they just called them good movies.
I was taking hitting clinics every chance I got. I really worked on it. It was just fun to be given that invitation from the director to make the baseball as good as we can.
John Sayles is good. He's like a good thoroughbred owner - he leaves the trainers alone.
Fifty-million-dollar movies gobble up the medium movies. A lot of people aren't working in Hollywood because of this.
