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.
loss winning next
I've always believed happiness is overrated, you know? It’s those difficult times that inform the next wonderful time, and it’s a series of trade-offs, of events, of wins and losses.
children health drug
Let us be the ones who say we do not accept that a child dies every three seconds simply because he does not have the drugs you and I have. Let us be the ones to say we are not satisfied that your place of birth determines your right for life. Let us be outraged, let us be loud, let us be bold.
war
I've always been at war with myself, for right or wrong.
building choices family finding love satisfied true
I'm satisfied with making true choices and finding the woman I love, Angie, and building a family that I love so much.
cover trying
It's a violent world we live in. I don't agree with trying to hide that or cover it up.
