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.

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.

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.

Clint Eastwood enables and allows things to happen. You walk on some sets and it's like walking into an emergency room. It's like, Come on guys, we're just making a movie here. That tension runs into the performances and into the movie.
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.

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.

Clint Eastwood just runs an incredibly tight ship, but it's really laid back.
Matt Damon

For a lot of actors, our biggest fear is that we're going to start talking about things we don't fully understand and sound like idiots.

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.

I think what's important for kids to know is that your decisions here on earth matter, your behavior matters and how you treat other people matters.

For Ripley I learned to play some songs on the piano, and I never really played them again.

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

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

If I had a bucket list, I'd say raising my four girls to be strong, good women would be No. 1.

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.

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.

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
Image
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.

I should have done it years ago. It's amazing I didn't even want cigarettes anymore.

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.
