More quotes by 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
When you have a child, your relationship with every child in the world changes. It's like you're in a club you didn't know existed before a child came into your life. I believe you should make the world more beautiful for all children in any way that you can.
Matt Damon
Paranoid is what people who are trying to take advantage call you in an effort to get you to drop your guard.
Matt Damon
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
I think marrying somebody who's not a celebrity, it just takes a lot of the pressure off.
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
It's pretty easy to kind of lose your way. Having kids is really helpful. They kind of disabuse you of the notion of your greatness pretty quickly.
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
I should have done it years ago. It's amazing I didn't even want cigarettes anymore.
Matt Damon
If you work at something, you get better at it.
Matt Damon
If you can't help people, then what is the point of being successful?
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
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
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 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
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
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
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
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
Still, the change is nearly indescribable - going from total obscurity to walking down a street in New York and having everybody turn and look to feel the temperature of a room change when I walked in.
Matt Damon
