America is not a country, it’s a business.

I think L.A. is impossible. There's just too much media focus. You can't live a normal live.

I had the luxury of working on the script with Andrew [Dominik] for a good year before the film started, so I was already intimate with the story [of The Assassination of Jesse James] and felt quite prepared walking into it.

Family comes first so I only have this specific window of time available to me and because of that I actually get more done.

There's nothing more life-changing than fatherhood.

Democracy doesn't work unless the public is informed.

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