More quotes by 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
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
The thing about online gambling is that it's never away, it's always accessible. And so, if you have an issue with gambling, it's designed to take advantage of that.
Ben Affleck
I love being a father, it's wonderful. It's changed my life. All the clichés are true.
Ben Affleck
I like roundtables because you can talk more directly to people. And you also can get kind of a vibe on what a journalist's take is on something, and have a conversation with them more.
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'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
I never really thought of myself as a beefcake kind of guy.
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
I don't go back and look at the monitor between every take I wait until I feel like we finally got it right: Let me stop and look at that last one on the monitor.
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
I'm human, just like anybody else.
Ben Affleck
Nobody goes to a movie and watches the script. There is a lot of other stuff going on.
Ben Affleck
Such a senseless and tragic day. My family and I send our love to our beloved and resilient Boston.
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
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
No matter what you're doing, if you're trying to make a movie, you need to be working with people that are really good and who make you better.
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
You wasted $150,000 on an education you could have got for a buck fifty in late charges at the public library.
Ben Affleck
I feel like casting is the most important aspect of making movies.
