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.

More quotes by Matt Damon
I need to know if she [Sarah Palin] thinks dinosaurs were here four thousand years ago... because she's going to have the nuclear code.
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
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
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
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.
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
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'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'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
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.
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 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
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
For Ripley I learned to play some songs on the piano, and I never really played them again.
Matt Damon
It's just better to be yourself than to try to be some version of what you think the other person wants.
Matt Damon
History is change happening one person at a time.
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 started really young, like 12 or 13, and then I started doing school plays. We had a really good drama department, so the kind of drama-geek stigma wasn't really there in my high school.
Matt Damon
You will never solve poverty without solving water and sanitation.
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.
