More quotes by Ben Affleck
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.
Ben Affleck
It's important for me to try my hand at philanthropy because I want to leave behind a record of someone who did more than just gobble up stuff for themselves. I realized that a life lived for yourself is not much of a life.
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
On the day he had colonic irrigation: 'I feel I lost my virginity that day in so many ways.'
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
Anybody tells you that money is the root of all evil doesn't have any.
Ben Affleck
There is currency to celebrity, or celebrity is a currency... You can spend it in a lot of ways, or you can squander it. You can be taxed, as well. I really started thinking long and hard about how to use that currency as long as I had it.
Ben Affleck
I recognize that Hollywood is not about seniority. Often it's not even a meritocracy. It's about what you did yesterday. You have a couple of misses, and suddenly it's impossible to find a hit. So the swings are gigantic. But I've always understood it as such, and navigated it as such.
Ben Affleck
I like that best as I am so hairy.
Ben Affleck
The first thing that I really understood politically and was old enough to get was the failed assassination attempt on Reagan.
Ben Affleck
If we try to define our own moral universe, there's a price for that.
Ben Affleck
They say money can't buy happiness? Look at the smile on my face. Ear to ear, baby!
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
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 to shoot until we have a relaxed environment on the set, and I try to schedule that.
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've consciously taken on material that's a bit too much for me but not an overreach. The first movie, just about performances. 'The Town,' I learned how to work broader material, develop tension, direct bigger scenes, action sequences. 'Argo,' I experimented with film stock, widened the scope of my geography.
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
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 have a good instinct for what's real and what's not. I don't have to second-guess myself.
Ben Affleck
