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.

No matter how much you change, you still got to pay the price for the things you’ve done.
Ben Affleck
Image
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
Image
I like to shoot until we have a relaxed environment on the set, and I try to schedule that.
Ben Affleck
Image
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
Image
It takes time to develop a sense of humor, shared world views.
Ben Affleck
Image
I'm much more interested in what an actor has to say about something substantial and important than who they're dating or what clothes they're wearing or some other asinine, insignificant aspect of their life.

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.

There's a lot of noise in the world, and the internet magnifies that energy.
Ben Affleck
Image
I think I'd rather tell the truth and say what I believe in and make people unhappy than sort of pretend to think something else to accommodate them and try to be liked. That's just the way it goes and I don't think I'm any great champion of anything, but if they're going to put me on a show, I'm going to say what I think.

I feel like casting is the most important aspect of making movies.
Ben Affleck
Image
They say money can't buy happiness? Look at the smile on my face. Ear to ear, baby!
Ben Affleck
Image
School plays are fine. Theater in school is fine.
Ben Affleck
Image
Just because a lot of people know something nominal doesn't make it important. A lot of people know what a pencil sharpener is, but that doesn't make it the most important invention of the 20th century.
Ben Affleck
Image
Persia is very different from the Arab Middle East in terms of architecture and language. Even though we think of them as one big Middle Eastern area, in truth, Persia's quite distinct.
Ben Affleck
Image
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
Image
People decided that I was the frat guy, even though I've never been inside a fraternity, or the guy who beat them up at school, even though that wasn't me at all.
Ben Affleck
Image
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
Image
(I) try new things and give myself permission to fail and experiment because only that way can you get really successful.

I remember back when I was a kid there was a comic strip called Plastic Man. His body was elastic and he could make his extremities as long as he wanted. As a youngster I didn't fully appreciate. But I'm now thinking Plastic Man was probably pretty popular with the ladies.

I've got to work really hard and I know exactly what I've achieved because I know how hard I've worked, and I make sure to work as hard as I absolutely possibly can, because I know that's the only shot I have at being successful.
