As a struggling actor, youre not looking for parts that define you; youre just looking for work.
Quote by -Matt Damon
I’ll play Pretty Pretty Princess with you if you just let me watch a little bit of March Madness.
Quote by -Matt Damon
I'd love to be a dad. I hope I'd be great at it. That's every man's fear, yet his most important job.
Quote by -Matt Damon
[Americans] can't understand that the water in our toilet is cleaner than 880 million have access to.
Quote by -Matt Damon
It's just better to be yourself than to try to be some version of what you think the other person wants.
Quote by -Matt Damon
If we listen to the better angels of our nature, there are creative and good solutions to serious problems.
Quote by -Matt Damon
Paranoid is what people who are trying to take advantage call you in an effort to get you to drop your guard.
Quote by -Matt Damon
Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker.
Quote by -Matt Damon
If Brad Pitt walked down the street, cars would crash into each other. I'm really lucky not to have to deal with that.
Quote by -Matt Damon
My mother is a professor of early childhood education. When I was two she would say she knew I was going to be an actor.
Quote by -Matt Damon
Maybe if we sit out for the next few years and let Clint Eastwood get a little experience, he's going to be a good director.
Quote by -Matt Damon
It was shameful and embarrassing that there were two years in a row without a single actor of color nominated. That's insane.
Quote by -Matt Damon
I've been really lucky. I'll completely forget that I'm a celebrity. And then something will happen, and I'll go, 'Oh, right.'
Quote by -Matt Damon
Now I feel I have an unspoken deal with the paparazzi: 'I won't do anything publicly interesting if you agree not to follow me.'
Quote by -Matt Damon
I need to know if she [Sarah Palin] thinks dinosaurs were here four thousand years ago... because she's going to have the nuclear code.
Quote by -Matt Damon
For a lot of actors, our biggest fear is that we're going to start talking about things we don't fully understand and sound like idiots.
Quote by -Matt Damon
The better the actor, the less you know about his life. I mean, nobody's better than De Niro and you don't know anything about him, right?
Quote by -Matt Damon
I honestly if I get a vacation I'm gonna go and sit on my couch in New York cause that's the one place I haven't been for a very long time.
Quote by -Matt Damon
I usually play characters that are a lot different than me. I mean, I'm never in a fight in a movie and if I'm in them, I'm usually losing.
Quote by -Matt Damon
As actors, we react to the material that's out there, and I probably just react more strongly to things that I feel will have some social value.
Quote by -Matt Damon
The first time I smoked was at home with my mother and stepfather; they were like, If you are going to do this, we'd rather you did this with us.
Quote by -Matt Damon
It's pretty easy to kind of lose your way. Having kids is really helpful. They kind of disabuse you of the notion of your greatness pretty quickly.
Quote by -Matt Damon
The ideal life is you don't sell a single magazine, nobody's interested, but they want to come see your movie. Because that gives you true freedom.
Quote by -Matt Damon
I think what makes a good actor's director is the same thing that makes a good director. Acting is just one of the trades necessary to make a movie.
Quote by -Matt Damon
I think what's important for kids to know is that your decisions here on earth matter, your behavior matters and how you treat other people matters.
Quote by -Matt Damon
We're here for such a short time. When your great-great-grandkids study history, don't you want them to be proud that you were part of the solution?
Quote by -Matt Damon
My parents divorced when I was young but I was brought up in two really loving households. I didn't have a contentious relationship with my mom or dad.
Quote by -Matt Damon
I'm not Brad Pitt or George Clooney. Those guys walk into a room and the room changes. I think there's something more... not average, but everyman about me.
Quote by -Matt Damon
Please find out what you can do to make a difference. Take five minutes to educate yourself on an issue you didn't know about before. Then tell somebody else.
Quote by -Matt Damon
Clint Eastwood expects you to know what you're doing. He's going to take two giant steps back and let you do it. I have such appreciation for that part of him.
Quote by -Matt Damon
My heart goes out to the people of the city of Boston. My thoughts and prayers are with the families who lost loved ones in such a senseless and heartless way.
Quote by -Matt Damon
I'm always cautious about overstepping any boundaries. At the end of the day, it's a director's medium, and if they don't want to hear from me I just step back.
Quote by -Matt Damon
Eventually stardom is going to go away from me. It goes away from everybody and all you have in the end is to be able to look back and like the choices you made.
Quote by -Matt Damon
Success is not something I've wrapped my brain around. If people go to those movies, then yes, that's true, big-time success. If not, it's much ado about nothing.
Quote by -Matt Damon
I never wanted to do the same kind of movies over and over anyway, so my theory on it all is I'm just gonna try and dodge the label and keep doing what I am doing.
Quote by -Matt Damon
I didn't grow up with great privilege, nor did I grow up wanting for anything. I was a middle-class kid and, relative to the rest of the world, that's great wealth.
Quote by -Matt Damon
I'm becoming far more interested in just functionality and making sure my body is as strong as it can be so I can swing my kids around and not worry about aches and pains.
Quote by -Matt Damon
The only way I can describe it-at the end of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, you know how his heart grows like five times? Everything is full; it's just full all the time.
Quote by -Matt Damon
I'd had people say, 'You'll enjoy being famous for a week, and you'll never enjoy it again'. But I don't think I had that week. I may have been working and missed that moment.
Quote by -Matt Damon
I found myself getting more publicly shy when the gala events and big crowds started. Some people embrace it. To me, it's not worth enough to risk my private life being public.
Quote by -Matt Damon
The director's in charge of every single decision [in film]. It's a dictatorship.It's a benevolent dictatorship, but it's true. It's every single shot. There's nothing arbitrary.
Quote by -Matt Damon
I was never that much a focus of interest that I became a 'thing' at an earlier point in my career. I'm aware of having become a 'thing' now, which doesn't give me a lot of pleasure.
Quote by -Matt Damon
It's an objective fact, that if you want to solve some of these huge, kind of bigger problems of extreme poverty, you have to include the women. They're the ones who will get it done.
Quote by -Matt Damon
Any moron with a pack of matches can start a fire. Raining down sulfur takes a huge level of endurance. Mass genocide is the most exhausting activity one can engage in, next to soccer.
Quote by -Matt Damon
I've passed on a lot of huge-money jobs. Money doesn't enter into the decision-making. If I do a big blockbuster, it's about how big an audience you'll get and where you can take them.
Quote by -Matt Damon
As somebody who makes his living in the movie business and wants to contribute to it, I think that the best chance I have of doing that is just consistently working with great directors.
Quote by -Matt Damon
I started really young, like 12 or 13, and then I started doing school plays. We had a really good drama department, so the kind of drama-geek stigma wasn't really there in my high school.
