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.

More quotes by Ben Affleck
I'm in the worst place you can be. I sell magazines and not movie tickets.
Ben Affleck
All I do, really, is go to work and try to be professional, be on time and be prepared.
Ben Affleck
Anybody tells you that money is the root of all evil doesn't have any.
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 don't go back and look at the monitor between every take I wait until I feel like we finally got it right: Let me stop and look at that last one on the monitor.
Ben Affleck
On playing Batman and his daughter: If I was doing the sequel to Frozen I would be a hero. My two older daughters could give a sh-t about Batman and they've now passed that affection onto my son. He's always like, 'Papa, can I watch Frozen?' And I'm like, 'No, dude, it's not on again!'.
Ben Affleck
My professional success is really important to me, and my career is really important to me. It's the most important thing to me outside of my family. I take it very seriously and work really, really hard at it. Family comes first, but this is something that's really important to me too.
Ben Affleck
I've never held myself up particularly high when I had movies that worked, and I never held myself all that low when I had failures.
Ben Affleck
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.
Ben Affleck
Sure, I suffered a lot. But it's not like the end of the world and it's not who I am. I lead quite a pleasant life and I'm able to divorce a perceived reality from my actual experience of life.
Ben Affleck
But on balance, a performer wants to feel that there's something there which stands out because you put a lot of effort into it, a lot of energy and a lot of yourself into something. I feel pretty successful about some movies I've been in that have not been greeted with a lot of enthusiasm and I do trust my own criteria.
Ben Affleck
I have a good instinct for what's real and what's not. I don't have to second-guess myself.
Ben Affleck
I'm not the most loathsome man in the world. I've dropped to number nine.
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.
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
The value of work, and of always learning something new, and what it takes to achieve excellence. I really believe in those things that you have to dedicate yourself and spend time, that excellence is elusive. It's a little maddening, to try to have that level of discipline in your life, and I don't succeed all the time. But I do try.
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
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
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'm human, just like anybody else.
Ben Affleck
