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

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
Image
As a struggling actor, youre not looking for parts that define you youre just looking for work.
Matt Damon
Image
I believe a solid, really strong middle-class is the key to making the country in the best way.

Image
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

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

Image
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.

I think Clint Eastwood is a well oiled machine. Everyone that works with him has the same reaction, Can I stay with you?
Matt Damon
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.
Matt Damon
Image
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
Image
If there's an idea I think is really good and I feel like I can write it, then I'll do it.
Matt Damon
Image
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.

If you can't help people, then what is the point of being successful?
Matt Damon
Image
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.

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.
Matt Damon
Image
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
Image
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.
Matt Damon

You will never solve poverty without solving water and sanitation.
