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.

We do a lot of test screenings and we always score way higher with guys than women.

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.

I was a business major in college and Bob was an engineering major. When we got out of school, we were both salesmen.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We've had no problems with the actors, but we keep a really loose set.
