More quotes by Matt Damon
I believe a solid, really strong middle-class is the key to making the country in the best way.
Matt Damon
The first time I smoked was at home with my mother and stepfather they were like, If you are going to do this, we'd rather you did this with us.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
You will never solve poverty without solving water and sanitation.
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
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'm always cautious about overstepping any boundaries. At the end of the day, it's a director's medium, and if they don't want to hear from me I just step back.
Matt Damon
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
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.
Matt Damon
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
I think marrying somebody who's not a celebrity, it just takes a lot of the pressure off.
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
