I think it's still hard for me to turn down work if it's really good because for so many years I was desperate to get a job and couldn't, so I think it's anathema for me to turn down work if I think it's really good.

More quotes by Matt Damon
As a struggling actor, youre not looking for parts that define you youre just looking for work.
Matt Damon
If you work at something, you get better at it.
Matt Damon
You know, a one-term president with some balls who actually got stuff done would have been, in the long run of the country, much better.
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
History is change happening one person at a time.
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
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
The values that I have are the values I was raised with, from where I'm from, which is a middle-class place. So that informs everything about me, my politics and all that stuff. I mean, politically, I vote against my own self-interest at every election. I actively ask these people to raise my taxes.
Matt Damon
You will never solve poverty without solving water and sanitation.
Matt Damon
Still, the change is nearly indescribable - going from total obscurity to walking down a street in New York and having everybody turn and look to feel the temperature of a room change when I walked in.
Matt Damon
If anybody wanted to photograph my life, they'd get bored in a day.
Matt Damon
Most films and directors lose their nerve and want to indicate [emotions] a bit more, to show that their story is clear. I'm not saying that's a good thing as an actor its anathema to good acting, but to have someone with the confidence to say that should I be utterly natural and minimalist is great.
Matt Damon
My mother is a professor of early childhood education. When I was two she would say she knew I was going to be an actor.
Matt Damon
It's intuitive in terms of when I read a piece of material or I hear about a project. I'm a writer, so I've written movies. I've read at this point thousands and thousands and thousands of screenplays. So if something gets me, then I don't ignore that.
Matt Damon
As somebody who makes his living in the movie business and wants to contribute to it, I think that the best chance I have of doing that is just consistently working with great directors.
Matt Damon
My parents divorced when I was young but I was brought up in two really loving households. I didn't have a contentious relationship with my mom or dad.
Matt Damon
I think Clint Eastwood is a well oiled machine. Everyone that works with him has the same reaction, Can I stay with you?
Matt Damon
If you can't help people, then what is the point of being successful?
Matt Damon
Please find out what you can do to make a difference. Take five minutes to educate yourself on an issue you didn't know about before. Then tell somebody else.
Matt Damon
I usually play characters that are a lot different than me. I mean, I'm never in a fight in a movie and if I'm in them, I'm usually losing.
Matt Damon
