I didn't know anybody in show business, and I never thought it was the path I'd go down. I was hoping it was sports, like so many kids.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I like hanging around the set and learning how people do things, how the set runs.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
The problem with most Hollywood movies is they don't give the director enough control.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
It's especially gratifying to have done a film like 'Eight Men Out' because it's hard not to have fun when there are so many bats and balls around.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
If I go to a baseball game, I hear 'Shoeless Joe,' but otherwise, I hear 'toe pick' five times a day. No matter how many more movies I make, that'll be on my gravestone.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
If you skate with an Olympic level skater, they make you so much better because you're skating behind them, and you're trying to imitate their stride and their stance. It's like having the world's greatest training wheels.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
When you do a play, or even a movie, you have weeks to finesse your character. You really understand why they do what they do. In TV, you get new material weekly about your character.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I think you have to do certain things in the pilot to get your network's attention - to break through... So maybe you push a little further in the first show.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I've seen people who stink, but the film editor shows them just where they didn't stink. But if you're empty and manipulative on stage, it's clear.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I didn't want people to think I'm just in the movies, where you make money and wait around for 13 hours before you get to do 20 minutes of work.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
As far as actors go, you're not going to find many ballplayers better than me.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
You get a lot of speeding tickets, and you say, 'I'm so unlucky!' No, you're not. You're speeding. Slow down.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
My sister Kathleen - one year older - was the school's acting legend. Her thing was getting all the parts, even Tiresias. And I wasn't going to mess with that.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I don't like the NFL, where I think it's a problem: some guy scores a touchdown, now he's got some kind of dance that he planned. To me, I just want to change the channel.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
With the Red Sox, you have more of a literary interest in it. You know they're going to lose; you're just interested in how the plot is going to unfold.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
The actors in 'Eight Men Out' really know how to play, and the background athletes are all professionals.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
What I've learned is sometimes it's good not to have all the same actions and have all the same takes. The variety you provide gives the director later on in post-production the ability to construct a more interesting performance as he puts the movie together.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
There's no doubt my having been a ballplayer made me feel a special sense of responsibility to Joe Jackson's life.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I thought it's very funny that I ended up as a voiceover guy because when I started out as an actor, I had a very strong Long Island accent.
Quote by -D. B. Sweeney
I'm so proud and honored to have been in 'Lonesome Dove' and 'Eight Men Out.' How come I'm not known for one of those?
