I had heard that Robert Duvall was interested in doing 'Lonesome Dove,' and he's one of those actors with whom I'd work on any project. So I tracked down the script and started to bug the producer, Dyson Lovell, to get in there.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
When you play on a team, you learn that there will always be five guys you like, a bunch of guys who are OK, and five you despise. The trick to getting along in any system is not to worry about the five you despise.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
On a movie set, there's so much down time, adjusting the lighting. It gave me time to nap, call my friends, relax, work out. But with TV, there's no break time. None.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I wanted to play this part: the goofy rock and roller who can't hang up his guitar when it's clear to everyone else that he should.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
Fifty-million-dollar movies gobble up the medium movies. A lot of people aren't working in Hollywood because of this.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I know some black actresses who have to wait every 19 films for a role. I can be cast in practically every one as a young white male.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
John Sayles is good. He's like a good thoroughbred owner - he leaves the trainers alone.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I think Joe Jackson is a great American figure. In my opinion, he became a scapegoat.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
When you're 47 years old and playing at a world-class level in the fastest sport, and you have zero percent body fat, you need to be brought down a peg as often as possible.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I think it's particularly stupid that filmmakers have traditionally said, 'Yeah, I like baseball, but the movie's not going to be about the intricacies of the game.' I mean, you wouldn't cast an overweight guy with stubble if you were doing a ballet film.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I would love to do another hockey movie. There are a lot of people in Hollywood looking for the right hockey script.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
In A-ball, you're either going to move up, or you're going to get released. That kind of paranoia played a lot into the players' mentality leading up to the events of 'Eight Men Out.'
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I felt like the world of baseball in 1919 was much closer to what A-ball would be now - guys riding buses, there's no training staff, and there's a lot of paranoia.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I was taking hitting clinics every chance I got. I really worked on it. It was just fun to be given that invitation from the director to make the baseball as good as we can.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
DeNiro did a good job playing a catcher in 'Bang the Drum Slowly,' but he's great in everything he does.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
A producer wouldn't think of making a film about ballet dancers without using real dancers, but they will cast actors who have never held a bat in baseball films.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
Joe Jackson was a tragic figure. He was a serene country boy who signed a confession he couldn't read. He was illiterate.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
All these big corporations like Amazon, those places have great distribution arms, but they can't create content.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
Why should a filmmaker turn over the irreplaceable asset, the movie, to a distribution center?
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I'm a sucker for doing something fun. If somebody wants to pay me to learn how to fly a plane or be a better golfer, that certainly would be a plus - or if it's filming in Tahiti.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I'm not one of these million-dollar actors. I have always been just a working actor. I probably work more than I would like to.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I have never been one of those actors who say, 'Oh, my character wouldn't do this,' or 'My character never wears an orange shirt,' or any of the number of inane things I've heard on movie sets throughout my career.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
'It's a Wonderful Life' was a mainstream Hollywood movie about faith, redemption, religion, and it was rated G.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
The great thing for me about 'The Resurrection of Gavin Stone' is it's a throwback to the old fashioned Hollywood movie that you can watch with your family, has a message, and is funny and entertaining. They didn't call them faith-based movies; they just called them good movies.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
More is asked of you on stage. It's no way to make a living. But it's like a bullfight. You find out who can do it and who can't.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I had cooked a lot in restaurants, in Rocky Point and on golf courses on Long Island, and my mother said, 'Be a chef,' and my dad said, 'Be a lawyer.' But instead, I auditioned for N.Y.U.'s Tisch School of the Arts.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I'm sure that President Trump will do plenty of things that people don't like, plenty of things people do like, and the people who don't like it, at that point, certainly take advantage of your rights and protest it - and try to seek change or do whatever you want.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
When I played sports, if you lose the game, and then you complain, that makes you a sore loser. That doesn't make you protester - that just makes you a whiner.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I don't know; it's hard for me to understand people that want to get out there and protest on the first day we elect a new guy.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I don't play the bass. I'm not in a band. I tried to think of ways I could touch base with the troops and support what we're doing.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I grew up Catholic, so the more non-denominational Christian experience was a new experience for me.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
To anybody who says to me, 'I'm in character,' I say, 'You should be in an asylum.' If you don't know that you're pretending, then you should really seek medical help. I don't have patience for that stuff.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I got typecast early in my career as the guy who is very intense. Once you get into a certain mold, people see you that way, as much as it's disproved time and again.
