I mean, I find things that happened in real life to be the funniest - things that you observe instead of crazy abstract things, you know.

There are a lot of things going into making a movie. So many things can go wrong. So many people that need to show up and bring their "A" game. If one thing is out of place, the whole movie can fall apart.

I'm too judgmental of other people putting themselves out there in any way, I guess.

I want to meet the man who saw a turtle and said, "People will LOVE the ninja version of that."

I think morality is so individual and personal, and people draw their own lines of what that means for them.

Stanley Kubrick made Shelly Duvall go crazy during 'The Shining.' It's like one of the best performances ever. Maybe he shouldn't have gone that far, but I love that movie.

I'm really proud of 'Moneyball.' To me, it's about feeling pride in a movie I made. I think when I'm an old man I'll be able to show it to my grandkids with pride. That's all I can really go for: making movies to please me.
