More quotes by Matt Damon
All you have in the end is to look back and like the choices you've made.
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
Sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage
Matt Damon
I believe a solid, really strong middle-class is the key to making the country in the best way.
Matt Damon
I think marrying somebody who's not a celebrity, it just takes a lot of the pressure off.
Matt Damon
If anybody wanted to photograph my life, they'd get bored in a day. 'Heres Matt at home learning his lines. Here's Matt researching in aisle six of his local library'. A few hours of that and they'd go home.
Matt Damon
I've gotten much better at multi-tasking. It's hard, though. But, writing a script is not totally focused. You're taking little breaks, all the time. If a kid runs in, you give 'em a horsey ride. It's a pretty fluid process.
Matt Damon
I think what makes a good actor's director is somebody who understands what I'm doing and is respectful of it, but who also has a vision and is directing me toward their vision in a way that feels productive.
Matt Damon
Clint Eastwood just runs an incredibly tight ship, but it's really laid back.
Matt Damon
If Brad Pitt walked down the street, cars would crash into each other. I'm really lucky not to have to deal with that.
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 don't see as many movies as I used to. Or, I should say, as many movies as I would like to.
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
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.
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
We live in a world, it's very hard for Americans to understand that every 20 seconds a kid dies, a kid under the age of five, right, dies somewhere on the Earth because of lack of access to clean water and sanitation. Every 20 seconds that happens on our planet. It's just very hard for us to relate to.
Matt Damon
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.
Matt Damon
All parents are trying to balance. Look, I'm lucky in the sense that I can control my hours. I can choose my jobs, and not everybody has that choice. But I definitely, it's a family decision every time I take a job.
Matt Damon
For Ripley I learned to play some songs on the piano, and I never really played them again.
Matt Damon
I’ll play Pretty Pretty Princess with you if you just let me watch a little bit of March Madness.
Matt Damon
