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
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
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 mother taught public school, went to Harvard and then got her masters there and taught fifth and sixth grade in a public school. My dad had a more working-class lifestyle. He didnt go to college. He was an auto mechanic and a bartender and a janitor at Harvard. – Ben Affleck
My mom and I used to listen to records, read, and take train rides across the country in the summer. It was a very chill life. She didnt expose me to anything that was ahead of my development, but she expected me to adjust to her world – she did not expect to adjust to mine. – Martha Plimpton
