If anybody wanted to photograph my life, they'd get bored in a day.

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.

Image
I was never that much a focus of interest that I became a 'thing' at an earlier point in my career. I'm aware of having become a 'thing' now, which doesn't give me a lot of pleasure.

If you work at something, you get better at it.

If there's an idea I think is really good and I feel like I can write it, then I'll do it.

The ideal life is you don't sell a single magazine, nobody's interested, but they want to come see your movie. Because that gives you true freedom.

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.

I love shooting, when the character is interesting and the script is interesting, but the research beforehand is really fun. The whole process makes me anxious and restless, and I have trouble sleeping, just trying to figure out the character.

I think marrying somebody who's not a celebrity, it just takes a lot of the pressure off.
Matt Damon
Image
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.

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

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.

You will never solve poverty without solving water and sanitation.

It's just better to be yourself than to try to be some version of what you think the other person wants.

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.

All you have in the end is to look back and like the choices you've made.

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.

I think Clint Eastwood is a well oiled machine. Everyone that works with him has the same reaction, Can I stay with you?
