democracy
Democracy doesn't work unless the public is informed.
years luxury stories
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.
mistake parent choices
No more excuses. I can't blame anything on my parents. I'm responsible for my mistakes and my choices.
relax littles months
Most of the time is with the family. Most of the time, is all the time. When we work it's a very intensive chunk of time. We work for 12 hours a day, 14 hours a day is common. And we'll do that for a few months and then we get to relax a little bit.
gun stories aspect
There are certain aspects of celebrity that I understand, although that's not the main point of the story [ in Assassination of Jesse James] , but it is one of the by products. I certainly understand what its like to be hunted and have a bounty on my head but at least nobody is pointing guns at me.
baseball going-for-it talent
Though Moneyball had the talents of screenwriters Steven Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin going for it, they weren't baseball insiders.
guy looks faces
We had a work session [in "Moneyball" ]where about 30 scouts came in and out.We're all riffing, and after it, [director] Bennett Miller said, 'Look at these faces: This is what we have to do - we gotta get these guys in the scene.
emotional games watches
I like Billy Beane for 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.These things make him human.
interesting would-be film
I dare make those comparisons, but we often said 'the making of' would be as interesting if not more interesting than the film.
smart guy stories
I just take credit for being smart enough to find a guy as smart as Benett [Miller] to tell the story [of Moneyball].
sports team player
Billy Beane was a guy who had been devalued by the sport as a player and now is working as a GM for a small-market team.There is such a gulf in what these teams have to spend on talent [that] they can never play equally - they can never have a true competition.
pages authenticity
The [scouts] could lend an authenticity that's even beyond what we had on the page.
hard-times important littles
I have a hard time with morals. All I know is what feels right, what's more important to me is being honest about who you are. Morals I get a little hung up on.
girl mother daughter
I look and there's our boy from Vietnam and our daughter from Ethiopia, and our girl was born in Namibia, and our son is from Cambodia, and they're brothers and sisters, man. They're brothers and sisters and it's a sight for elation.
