“Robin Williams goes for the long ball in every stand up. He doesn’t know where to stop. He doesn’t want to know. Thomas Wolf didn’t know where to stop in is prose, Keats in his poetry. ‘Load every rift with ore,’ he said. Ted Williams went for the long ball in his way on the baseball field. Remember the shift that other teams put on Williams? He always hit into it and through it, not to stick it to them, I think, simply because he wanted to hit the ball where he wanted to hit the ball. He probably could have hit 500 away from the shift, but, no. Remember his last home run in his last career at bat, how he refused to acknowledge the Boston fans, the same guy who hit into the shift? So the story of Tin Cup is the old one about safety and risk. And the point is that to be alone with one’s ability is the most secure position possible. It is where self-respect lies. It’s the story of Christopher Columbus. It’s the story of Don Quixote, and it’s a love story. “
