I want to thank my wife who I don’t normally usually associate with Iran. I want to thank you for working on our marriage for 10 Christmases. It’s good. It is work, but it’s the best kind of work, and there’s no one I’d rather work with!

BEN AFFLECKNo matter how much you change, you still got to pay the price for the things you’ve done.
BEN AFFLECKSuch a senseless and tragic day. My family and I send our love to our beloved and resilient Boston.
BEN AFFLECKI like acting for myself as a director. I act and I know that I’ll have a chance to have some say in what gets used and that I’ll be able to give myself enough takes and be on the same page as myself about how the scene should play.
BEN AFFLECKI kinda see my current position like this: Here’s your five minutes in the toy store, so you gotta do all the good movies you can before ‘Chuck Woolery’ rings the bell.
BEN AFFLECKThere’s a lot of noise in the world, and the internet magnifies that energy.
BEN AFFLECKIf we try to define our own moral universe, there’s a price for that.
BEN AFFLECKBut when I felt like I had something to prove? Then I got up early every morning and worked all day long. I didn’t know if I had any more talent than anyone else directing, but I knew I could work hard at it, and so I did.
BEN AFFLECKYou have to be kind to people. Treat them decently. There’s no excuse for not.
BEN AFFLECKThere’s something really great and romantic about being poor and sleeping on couches.
BEN AFFLECKThere is currency to celebrity, or celebrity is a currency. You can spend it in a lot of ways, or you can squander it. You can be taxed, as well. I really started thinking long and hard about how to use that currency as long as I had it.
BEN AFFLECKMemories, all those little experiences make up the fabric of our lives and on balance, I wouldn’t want to erase any of them, tempting though it may be.
BEN AFFLECKI have three women in the house. I get to be wrong three times a day.
BEN AFFLECKI’m always described as ‘cocksure’ or ‘with a swagger,’ and that bears no resemblance to who I feel like inside. I feel plagued by insecurity.
BEN AFFLECKA lot of my shows in the past have been more theatrical than others, but you really get the bug for it when you direct on stage.
BEN AFFLECKPeople ascribe a certain kind of silliness to the movie business. Everybody feels like, “In the movies, they do crazy stuff.”
