More quotes by Casey Affleck
I'm tired of answering questions about myself.

Casey Affleck
But when I start to kiss someone - lust is the easiest emotion to generate.
Casey Affleck
I like to just keep the land within sight. Nowadays they can tell you if there's a storm three days out. So it's not much of a concern. But I've never been a big boat person. I don't spend a lot of time at sea.
Casey Affleck
You're encouraged to do the same kind of movies. But I would like to keep doing different things.
Casey Affleck
My aim was not to fool. My aim was to provoke thought and stir emotion.
Casey Affleck
I didn't have to audition. That's common, but it had never happened to me before. Normally, I hate auditioning. I need to stew and think... let the character develop and grow inside me.
Casey Affleck
Most calves used by the dairy industry have their horns BURNED or GOUGED out of their heads.
