I Don't Like To Say Mean Things

My Heroes Are Bill Murray And Dustin Hoffman. Those Are The Two Actors That Both Do Comedies And Dramas, Seamlessly. Also John C. Reilly And Philip Seymour Hoffman. They're All Just Great Actors, Neither Comedic Nor Dramatic. They're Just Great Actors.

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.

I've Never Been Into Just Really Silly Stuff.

I Like Playing Characters That, You Know, A Couple Could Go See The Movie And One Person Could Love Him And One Person Could Hate Him.

I've Learned Through Experience Of Playing Different Characters, Some Of Whom Were Jerks, That When You Play A Character Who Is Pretentious Or Obnoxious, In Any Way, It's Important To Knock Them Down A Peg.
