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

I think happiness is overrated. Satisfied, at peace-those would be more realistic goals.

You must lose everything in order to gain anything.

In Missouri, where I come from, we don't talk about what we do - we just do it. If we talk about it, it's seen as bragging.

I embrace the messiness of life. I find it so beautiful actually.

I would love to work in a Bollywood film as there is so much drama and colour in the films there.

Man, when I'm riding with the helmet on, I'm invisible. And people just deal with me as the guy on the bike... it gives you a chance to read 'em.

I'm probably 20 percent atheist and 80 percent agnostic. I don't think anyone really knows. You'll either find out or not when you get there, until then there's no point thinking about it.

The things you own end up owning you.

Do you know how you tell real love? It's when someone else's interest trumps your own.

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.

Don't appreciate me, I'm not up to it. Don't criticize me, I don't deserve it. Just be my friend and forgive me, because I am craving for it.

No one's an angel - especially if he's a man

When you're making something, you're in a different state. You go into a deep level of concentration, to the point where you're not self-conscious anymore, it's just flowing out of you.

Relationships are built on small, consistent deposits of time. You can't cram for what's most important. If you want to connect with your kids, you've got to be available consistently, not randomly.

If you do not like a certain behavior in others, look within yourself to find the roots of what discomforts you.

It seems to me that socialists today can preserve their position in academic economics merely by the pretense that the differences are entirely moral questions about which science cannot decide.

The arc of the moral universe may bend towards justice, but it doesn't bend on its own.

Runners in the western world have a tendency to create psychological barriers for themselves, but Morceli runs at will, with no inhibitions.

I have kind of an existential crisis. I'm in my late 20s, I get excited by contemporary young culture, but at the same time, I don't want to be the 40-year-old DJ in the club.
