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.

More quotes by Ben Affleck
My movies are unadorned, they're not particularly fancy, I think they're kind of workmanlike in some ways, focusing on the writing and the acting.
Ben Affleck
When you are in your 20s and you're not married with kids, you're having fun. But when you're in your 30s and you're not married and don't have kids, you begin to develop a Peter Pan complex. As you grow older, you have more responsibilities and you have to step up to them.
Ben Affleck
You have to look also to the media, where you have a vast majority of the loudest and most influential political voices in America media from people who came from the entertainment world.
Ben Affleck
There's a lot of romance to sort of living by your own rules and sort of not subscribing to what society tells you to do, but society pushes back pretty strongly, so there's a lot of compromise that goes with that.
Ben Affleck
I really feel that's part of why audiences go to movies now is to take you to a world you have no access to, whether it's the world of Avengers or Middle-earth or bars in Boston you would be afraid to go into. You see characters there - they aren't hobbits but they're close.
Ben Affleck
People ascribe a certain kind of silliness to the movie business. Everybody feels like, In the movies, they do crazy stuff.
Ben Affleck
I try to cast really good actors and give them a chance to do their very best work, give them as much time and space as they need.
Ben Affleck
I like the incongruity of how in Iran, these people we think of as being revolutionaries or fanatics or whatever are just as aware of Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader as our people are back home.
Ben Affleck
Online gambling is very seductive and very illusory. It can seem like a really good idea. It can seem like what people told you to work hard and get ahead, but when someone shows you something and it's too good to be true, it probably is.
Ben Affleck
I like roundtables because you can talk more directly to people. And you also can get kind of a vibe on what a journalist's take is on something, and have a conversation with them more.
Ben Affleck
I think when you have children, it just changes your worldview.
Ben Affleck
The thing about online gambling is that it's never away, it's always accessible. And so, if you have an issue with gambling, it's designed to take advantage of that.
Ben Affleck
Family is a wonderful thing, but it doesn't mean you can't do other stuff in your life. In fact, having a family makes whatever other thing you have that much richer. If it was just me, I'd be home alone and think, 'Well, something good happened at work,' but it's much nicer to share it with people you love.
Ben Affleck
I'm in the worst place you can be. I sell magazines and not movie tickets.
Ben Affleck
Studios are used to have an investment in you, an actual, literal investment in an actor. You paid them some money, you had a contract with them and you were almost like a commodity.
Ben Affleck
There's a lot of noise in the world, and the internet magnifies that energy.
Ben Affleck
A lot of my shows in the past have been more theatrical than others, but you really get the bug for it when you direct on stage.
Ben Affleck
I get to the point where I feel relaxed, and then I just shoot a ton of material and make a lot of different choices.
Ben Affleck
Rumors about me? Calista Flockhart, Pam Anderson, and Matt Damon. That's who I'm dating.
Ben Affleck
(I) try new things and give myself permission to fail and experiment because only that way can you get really successful.
Ben Affleck
