I have three women in the house. I get to be wrong three times a day.
BEN AFFLECKI have three women in the house. I get to be wrong three times a day.
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 AFFLECKA sale is made on every call you make. Either you sell the client some stock or he sells you a reason he can’t. Either way a sale is made, the only question is: Who is gonna close?
BEN AFFLECKYes, I’m 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 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 AFFLECKI 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 AFFLECKDirecting is monumentally complicated and it’s a function of all the time you pay to it. I think it would be great to do a movie I’m not in, I could just eat Fritos and just say, ‘yeah, it’s good!’ Some day.
BEN AFFLECKThere’s a lot of noise in the world, and the internet magnifies that energy.
BEN AFFLECKI’m trying to make people feel welcome and feel valued.
BEN AFFLECKNobody goes to a movie and watches the script. There is a lot of other stuff going on.
BEN AFFLECKAnybody tells you that money is the root of all evil doesn’t have any.
BEN AFFLECKI’m much more interested in what an actor has to say about something substantial and important than who they’re dating or what clothes they’re wearing or some other asinine, insignificant aspect of their life.
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 AFFLECKYou get old, you slow down.
BEN AFFLECKIt wasn’t my childhood fantasy to work with Truffaut or be in obscure films. I like Midnight Run better than I like The Bicycle Thief. It was films like Die Hard and Bladerunner that made me want to be an actor.
BEN AFFLECKI’m human, just like anybody else.
