I was very curious about the world even at a young age, and I don't know at what point I became aware that other cultures believed in different religions, and my question was, 'Well, why don't they get to go to Heaven then?'

I just take credit for being smart enough to find a guy as smart as Benett [Miller] to tell the story [of "Moneyball"].

Being married means I can break wind and eat ice cream in bed.

This idea of perpetual happiness is crazy and overrated, because those dark moments fuel you for the next bright moments; each one helps you appreciate the other.

I had a very supportive family environment that gave me room to explore and discover things about myself.

I always liked those moments of epiphany, when you have the next destination.

America is a country founded on guns. It's in our DNA. It's very strange but I feel better having a gun. I really do. I don't feel safe, I don't feel the house is completely safe, if I don't have one hidden somewhere. That's my thinking, right or wrong.
