School plays are fine. Theater in school is fine.
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
Image
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.

Image
There's a lot of noise in the world, and the internet magnifies that energy.
Ben Affleck
Image
It takes time to develop a sense of humor, shared world views.

I think when you have children, it just changes your worldview.

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.

I'm in the worst place you can be. I sell magazines and not movie tickets.
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 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
Image
I simply asked if I could have a go at adapting a screenplay. But I did not want any money, in case I failed because I did not want a script out there with my name on it that might be completely dysfunctional.
Ben Affleck
Image
I have a promptness problem. I am a promptness-free zone.
Ben Affleck
Image
All I do, really, is go to work and try to be professional, be on time and be prepared.
Ben Affleck
Image
No matter how much you change, you still got to pay the price for the things you’ve done.
Ben Affleck
Image
I feel like fame is wasted on me.
Ben Affleck
Image
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'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
Image
I'm sure I can make a movie that doesn't feel like a seventies movie! But the truth is, that's my favorite era in American filmmaking. To me, those were the great years.
Ben Affleck
Image
I like to shoot until we have a relaxed environment on the set, and I try to schedule that.

I feel like casting is the most important aspect of making movies.
