Sporting achievements bestow a sense of unification on the cultures and societies in which they take place and create an outpouring of nationalism and pride.
I'm not much interested in sport just as sport. I wouldn't be interested in making a golf film or baseball or fishing film.
When golf used to be a rich man's sport, if you were poor you could not step foot on a course.
If you got the game, you got the game. That's why Tiger Woods is out there playing golf with Greg Norman.

But TV has changed completely. It's not until you come into people's homes that everyone says, 'You're a success now.'
I was not emotionally mature enough to accept any kind of success when I was young. I needed to go that long route.
I feel like I owe something to America, as it is where I found success.
I do find myself at the moment, due to the success of School of Rock, to be on people's radar a little.
I realize I can never take my success for granted. It's not attractive for anyone to be like that.
