This film cost $31 million. With that kind of money I could have invaded some country.

I kind of make a film for myself to sort of express myself.

Ten Million Dollar Baby.

I'm not a reality-TV kind of guy. But it's almost like we're living in a reality show. Every day in this country, everybody keeps worrying about the deterioration of America, and it's like a big reality show.

I was kind of a little disappointed when they started building a competition between Marty (Martin Scorsese) and me. I have the greatest respect for him and all the films he's done over the years.

I think Pebble Beach is kind of a unique place on the planet.
