If your movies dont perform, they just stop calling you. – Matt Damon
Thats the way this business works: if your movies do well at the box office, you will be offered more movies. It doesnt matter if youre a nice guy or youre a prick. If your movies do well, theres a job waiting for you in Hollywood. Its not any more complicated than that. – Matt Damon
Success is not something Ive wrapped my brain around. If people go to those movies, then yes, thats true, big-time success. If not, its much ado about nothing. – Matt Damon
Ive been left alone, even by the paparazzi, because what sells is sex and scandal. Absent that, they really dont have much interest in you. Im still married, still working, still happy. – Matt Damon
Some movies bring out the creativity in you. Every single audience member can become creative in the face of a particular movie. If you happen to like my films, its because my films provide a bed for you on which you can find your creativity. The Hollywood movies do not provide that for you. – Abbas Kiarostami
