More quotes by Ben Affleck
No actor forgets the times he couldn't get a job. I think everyone doing this operates from that fear. You don't want that momentum to stop when you get it
Ben Affleck
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.
Ben Affleck
I like to shoot until we have a relaxed environment on the set, and I try to schedule that.
Ben Affleck
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
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
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
My movies are unadorned, they're not particularly fancy, I think they're kind of workmanlike in some ways, focusing on the writing and the acting.
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
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
If I ever woke up with a dead hooker in my hotel room, Matt would be the first person I'd call.
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
I think when you have children, it just changes your worldview.
Ben Affleck
It takes time to develop a sense of humor, shared world views.
Ben Affleck
I'm in the worst place you can be. I sell magazines and not movie tickets.
Ben Affleck
I knew I had to get out of Boston and stop making movies there, at least for one movie, otherwise no one would ever consider me for a movie that took place south of Providence.
Ben Affleck
Everyone's entitled to express their political beliefs. I don't presume to tell anybody who to vote for. I am comfortable telling people what my opinions are.
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'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.
Ben Affleck
I'm a writer. An amateur photographer. An actor.
