I'm a writer. An amateur photographer. An actor.

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
Image
I feel like fame is wasted on me.
Ben Affleck

I'm not the most loathsome man in the world. I've dropped to number nine.
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.

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.

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
Image
Not that it entirely matters: There is a perception that all actors make their movies. A lot of people assume you're responsible. George Clooney told me actors get all of the blame and all the credit.
Ben Affleck
Image
People ascribe a certain kind of silliness to the movie business. Everybody feels like, In the movies, they do crazy stuff.
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
There's a lot of noise in the world, and the internet magnifies that energy.
Ben Affleck
Image
Such a senseless and tragic day. My family and I send our love to our beloved and resilient Boston.
Ben Affleck
Image
It takes time to develop a sense of humor, shared world views.
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
I'm human, just like anybody else.
Ben Affleck

I like to think that if I were gay I would be out. Rupert Everett-style.

Rumors about me? Calista Flockhart, Pam Anderson, and Matt Damon. That's who I'm dating.
