Eventually stardom is going to go away from me. It goes away from everybody and all you have in the end is to be able to look back and like the choices you made.

More quotes by Matt Damon
There are people who just collect a bunch of footage and then edit it later. You definitely feel more protected when a director is moving on when you've actually felt something happen and you know they're watching intently.
Matt Damon
Clint Eastwood just runs an incredibly tight ship, but it's really laid back.
Matt Damon
Paranoid is what people who are trying to take advantage call you in an effort to get you to drop your guard.
Matt Damon
I've passed on a lot of huge-money jobs. Money doesn't enter into the decision-making. If I do a big blockbuster, it's about how big an audience you'll get and where you can take them.
Matt Damon
I’ll play Pretty Pretty Princess with you if you just let me watch a little bit of March Madness.
Matt Damon
Bond is part of the system. He's an imperialist and a misogynist, and he laughs at killing people, and he sits there slugging martinis. It'll never be the same thing as this, because Bourne is a guy who is against the establishment, who is paranoid and on the run. I just think fundamentally they're just very different things.
Matt Damon
I think what makes a good actor's director is the same thing that makes a good director. Acting is just one of the trades necessary to make a movie.
Matt Damon
If I had a bucket list, I'd say raising my four girls to be strong, good women would be No. 1.
Matt Damon
Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker.
Matt Damon
It's just better to be yourself than to try to be some version of what you think the other person wants.
Matt Damon
As actors, we react to the material that's out there, and I probably just react more strongly to things that I feel will have some social value.
Matt Damon
I'm always cautious about overstepping any boundaries. At the end of the day, it's a director's medium, and if they don't want to hear from me I just step back.
Matt Damon
There are a lot of things that I really question - the legality of the drone strikes, these NSA revelations. Jimmy Carter came out and said we don’t live in a democracy. That’s a little intense when an ex-president says that. So you know, he’s got some explaining to do, particularly for a constitutional law professor.
Matt Damon
If there's an idea I think is really good and I feel like I can write it, then I'll do it.
Matt Damon
If you're just an actor you're reactive. You're saying, Well, I hope Hollywood gives me a role, or gives me a chance at a role, whereas if you can generate your own content, then you can go where you want to go.
Matt Damon
For Ripley I learned to play some songs on the piano, and I never really played them again.
Matt Damon
The only way I can describe it-at the end of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, you know how his heart grows like five times? Everything is full it's just full all the time.
Matt Damon
As a struggling actor, youre not looking for parts that define you youre just looking for work.
Matt Damon
I started really young, like 12 or 13, and then I started doing school plays. We had a really good drama department, so the kind of drama-geek stigma wasn't really there in my high school.
Matt Damon
Part of the American ethos is that you want to leave something better for your kids than you had and I know that my parents felt that way and I know that my grandparents felt that way and everybody worked hard so that their kids had a better chance. I just don't want to be the first generation that doesn't do that.
