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.

More quotes by 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.
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
It's usually the exact same three things which are, the Scripts, the Director and the Role those are the three things I look for and really any two of them, If I get two of them that's usually enough, but definitely those are the things I look for.
Matt Damon
You will never solve poverty without solving water and sanitation.
Matt Damon
Before the days of video village a director should stand right next to the camera, look with his naked eye and if he sees something that is real to him, he'd look up at the [camera] operator and if he gives the look to indicate he'd seen it to, then you print and you'd move on.
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
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 should have done it years ago. It's amazing I didn't even want cigarettes anymore.
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
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
If you can't help people, then what is the point of being successful?
Matt Damon
All you have in the end is to look back and like the choices you've made.
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
It was shameful and embarrassing that there were two years in a row without a single actor of color nominated. That's insane.
Matt Damon
I’ll play Pretty Pretty Princess with you if you just let me watch a little bit of March Madness.
Matt Damon
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.
Matt Damon
I've been really lucky. I'll completely forget that I'm a celebrity. And then something will happen, and I'll go, 'Oh, right.'
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
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
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.
