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

I got into [producing] to be part of stories that wouldn't necessarily be right for me as an actor.

The greatest thing an actor can experience is discovery. The greatest thing an artist can walk away with is to learn something about themselves and the world and this was one of those.

For me a film is at its best when you can start filling in the story with your own life experience.

Getting a burp out of your little thing when she needs it is probably the greatest satisfaction I've come across at this point in my life.

Get into something that's really personal that means something to you, where you have something to say and is something really individualized. I wish I was more aware of that when I started my career instead of doing a few things I was told would be good for me. And they weren't, because it left me empty, so I didn't do a good job anyways. I think that's what's key to what we do: It's got to be personal.

You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you.
