Life Is Great, Football Is Better.

There Have Been Nine Super Bowls In New Orleans, And Not All Of Them Have Brought The Best Of Luck To Nfl Films. We Got Robbed Twice There, Got Food Poisoning, And My Hotel Room Was Broken Into On The Day The Bears Played The Patriots In January 1986.

You Know How I Came Up With The Name 'road To The Super Bowl?' It's An Homage To The Old Bob Hope - Bing Crosby Buddy Movies - You Know, Like 'road To Zanzibar' Or 'road To Morocco.' Can You Tell? All I've Done My Whole Life Is Go To Movies.

I've Been Very Lucky In The Freedom That I've Been Given. Every Artist Needs Two Types Of Freedom: You Need The Freedom To - The Freedom To Come Up With An Idea Or Treatment - And Then You Need The Other Half Of The Freedom, And That's Freedom From - Somebody Saying, 'this Is Great. This Is How I Want You To Do It'.

I Don't Go To Games As Much As I Used To Because Of The Nfl's Sunday Ticket. So I'll Watch The Games, Take Notes.

I Never Thought Of What I Was Doing As A Way To Sell The Nfl. I Was Making Movies About A Sport That I Loved, About Players And Coaches That I Respected. I Wanted To Convey My Love Of The Game Through Film. And Most Artists Convey Their Love Through Art. And My Art And My Love Was Expressed Through Film.
