The thing about sports movies is they can't help but feel epic - putting music to images etc.
I love sports as all Bostonians seem to. I love books and movies as all writers seem to.
I think everybody has something that takes them away or makes them happier. To some people it's baseball or sports or knitting or the movies.
I just think that sports movies have such a built-in visceral rooting interest an epic win or lose redemptive quality. When they get it right it can make for a really rousing movie experience.
The 'Sports Illustrated' cover was the last thing I shot. That week I told my agent 'You know what I really... I don't want to be a model anymore. I really want to do movies.' And I think he wanted to wring my neck at the moment.
I tried to get a baseball movie made a couple of years ago and I don't think it didn't happen because I was a woman but because sports movie don't sell internationally.
I would like to do a sports movie.
I think a big part of our attraction to sport movies are the stories contained within the sports.
My favorite sports movies I like 'Remember the Titans' and 'Hoosiers' Jimmy Chitwood from the corner.
I love sports and I love sports movies.
