Theres something really great and romantic about being poor and sleeping on couches. – Ben Affleck
Yes, Im going to be the President of the United States. You know why? You think you can get chicks by being in the movies? You can really get chicks by being the President. – Ben Affleck
I kinda see my current position like this: Heres your five minutes in the toy store, so you gotta do all the good movies you can before Chuck Woolery rings the bell. – Ben Affleck
Youre basically the sum of all the experiences youve ever had, and theyre sort of shaken up in you and reproduced in the things you create, and that includes seeing movies. – Ben Affleck
Not that it entirely matters: There is a perception that all actors make their movies. A lot of people assume youre responsible. George Clooney told me actors get all of the blame and all the credit. – Ben Affleck
My movies are unadorned, theyre not particularly fancy, I think theyre kind of workmanlike in some ways, focusing on the writing and the acting. – Ben Affleck
Ive never held myself up particularly high when I had movies that worked, and I never held myself all that low when I had failures. – Ben Affleck

A friend of my moms was a casting director so, really as kind of a lark, I had a couple of acting jobs that had just enough exposure to give me the option to continue if I wanted to. I followed through with it. – Ben Affleck

I grew up in a home environment where I wasnt getting esteem for anything I did. – Ben Affleck
