The trap for an actor is that ...

The trap for an actor is that you become too successful at what you're trying to do, and you can find yourself stuck there.

I've finally learnt how to say...

I've finally learnt how to say, 'No comment'. To appear in the tabloids is a real learning curve and a steep one at that. You had better learn quick or you get burnt.

A friend of my mom's was a cas...

A friend of my mom's was a casting director so, really as kind of a lark, I had a couple of acting jobs that had just enough exposure to give me the option to continue if I wanted to. I followed through with it.

As an actor, you can steer a scene in another direction by playing it a little differently. And honestly? I like being an actor, and I want to keep having a career.

Every single director-actor I ...

Every single director-actor I talked to, from Warren Beatty to Clint Eastwood to George Clooney, said the biggest mistake they made is not shooting enough footage of themselves.

I hate the whole reluctant sex...

I hate the whole reluctant sex-symbol thing. It's such bull. You see these dudes greased up, in their underwear, talking about how they don't want to be a sex symbol.

I kinda see my current positio...

I kinda see my current position like this: Here's your five minutes in the toy store, so you gotta do all the good movies you can before 'Chuck Woolery' rings the bell.

I knew I had to get out of Bos...

I knew I had to get out of Boston and stop making movies there, at least for one movie, otherwise no one would ever consider me for a movie that took place south of Providence.

Ben Affleck 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

It was a dreamlike time for me...

It was a dreamlike time for me from December 1997 to March of '98. Before that, I was basically unknown. Then, bang! The starting gun fired, and everybody just started running. It was learn-on-the-job. And there were more opportunities for work than I had time to do them.

Ben Affleck 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

The one benefit of having done...

The one benefit of having done all kinds of movies as an actor is, you learn the pros and cons of being tempted to do a really big movie because it costs a lot of money.

Ben Affleck 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

When I look up at the screen a...

When I look up at the screen and see myself I always have to laugh. Not because I think I'm doing a horrible job, quite the contrary, I just feel it's so surreal to feel like one person can entertain so many at one time.

There are two things for a mar...

There are two things for a marriage to be good. One is to work hard on it. The other one is to marry above you. And I succeeded at both of those.

You wasted $150,000 on an education you could have got for a buck fifty in late charges at the public library.

My mother went to Radcliffe, a...

My mother went to Radcliffe, and rather than just trying to get rich, she wanted to be a teacher and taught for over 30 years in the public schools. She's definitely got some war stories.

It doesn't matter how you get knocked down in life, because that's going to happen. All that matters is that you gotta get up.

Ben Affleck 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

Memories, all those little exp...

Memories, all those little experiences make up the fabric of our lives and on balance, I wouldn't want to erase any of them, tempting though it may be.

Ben Affleck 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

Matt and I have set a date. Ma...

Matt and I have set a date. Matt and I will tie the knot New Years Day in the town of Swampscott, Massachusetts. Reserve your hotel rooms now. I will be having a gay marriage.

Ben Affleck 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

It wasn't my childhood fantasy...

It wasn't my childhood fantasy to work with Truffaut or be in obscure films. I like Midnight Run better than I like The Bicycle Thief. It was films like Die Hard and Bladerunner that made me want to be an actor.

Ben Affleck 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

Jen came first, and then they ...

Jen came first, and then they wanted to cast somebody that would... Kevin liked the idea of having a kind of The Ghost of That Character kind of haunt the movie in a way throughout, by having Raquel look so much like her. And also, it was sort of serendipity. I mean, she was also the best actress. I mean, as you can see Raquel has a pretty appealing, engaging kind of precocious, sparkly quality that's... it was just luck really that she happened to the film.

Ben Affleck 03.03.2018 03:03:03 208 quotes

No actor forgets the times he ...

No actor forgets the times he couldn't get a job. I think everyone doing this operates from that fear. You don't want that momentum to stop when you get it
