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
I feel like casting is the most important aspect of making movies.
Ben Affleck
Nobody goes to a movie and watches the script. There is a lot of other stuff going on.
Ben Affleck
I don't think the government should be involved in any way in people's bedrooms or lives. With so much hatred and unpleasantness in the world, why would you want to get in the way of people who love each other marrying each other?
Ben Affleck
I like acting for myself as a director. I act and I know that I'll have a chance to have some say in what gets used and that I'll be able to give myself enough takes and be on the same page as myself about how the scene should play.
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
You wasted $150,000 on an education you could have got for a buck fifty in late charges at the public library.
Ben Affleck
I'm trying to make people feel welcome and feel valued.
Ben Affleck
I feel like fame is wasted on me.
Ben Affleck
I really think that everybody would like to be an actor. Why wouldn't they? It's great work if you can get it. The one thing that prevents most people from saying, 'I'm just gonna go to Hollywood!' is that it seems unrealistic.
Ben Affleck
I love being a father, it's wonderful. It's changed my life. All the clichés are true.
Ben Affleck
A sale is made on every call you make. Either you sell the client some stock or he sells you a reason he can't. Either way a sale is made, the only question is: Who is gonna close?
Ben Affleck
They say money can't buy happiness? Look at the smile on my face. Ear to ear, baby!
Ben Affleck
I'm always described as 'cocksure' or 'with a swagger,' and that bears no resemblance to who I feel like inside. I feel plagued by insecurity.
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
If I ever woke up with a dead hooker in my hotel room, Matt would be the first person I'd call.
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
One of the things it channelled in me was that experience that I'd had of wearing a big red leather thing on my upper torso in Daredevil with a mask I couldn't see through and an outfit that completely inhibited movement, feeling humiliated and like a fool. I just recalled that.
Ben Affleck
I like to shoot until we have a relaxed environment on the set, and I try to schedule that.
Ben Affleck
Such a senseless and tragic day. My family and I send our love to our beloved and resilient Boston.
Ben Affleck
Sometimes I get insecure about being a real director because I look at the great directors, and they have such command. But maybe that keeps me critical of myself. Maybe it keeps me moving forward.
