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.

Once You Get Older, You Get A Little Closer To Yourself, Intimate. I've Always Been Very Aware Of That, More Conscious Of Who I Am, How I Fit In The Thing As Opposed To Trying To Emulate Someone Else. Though, Sometimes I Try To Emulate De Niro All The Time, Who Is Someone I Could Never Be.

I Like Billy Beane For The Fact That He - 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. I Mean, These Things Make Him Human.
