Democracy doesn't work unless the public is informed.

I like Billy Beane for the fact that he - his idiosyncrasies, that he can't watch the games without getting too emotional, that he often has food down his shirt, that he tends to break a few chairs now and then. I mean, these things make him human.

Personally I like ageing. With age comes wisdom and I have said it before and I say it again, I will take wisdom over youth any day.

I grew up very religious, and I don't have a great relationship with religion.

Though 'Moneyball' had the talents of screenwriters Steven Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin going for it, they weren't baseball insiders.

Your shame will be your torture, and your torture will be your life. I wish it long.

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