"Not that it entirely matters: There is a perception that all actors make their movies. A lot of people assume you're responsible. George Clooney told me actors get all of the blame and all the credit."
Quote by -Ben Affleck
"I grew up in a home environment where I wasn't getting esteem for anything I did."
Quote by -Ben Affleck

Quote by -Ben Affleck
"What happens is this sort of bleed-over from the tabloids across your movie work. You go to a movie, you only go once. But the tabloids and Internet are everywhere. You can really subsume the public image of somebody."
Quote by -Ben Affleck
"I've never held myself up particularly high when I had movies that worked, and I never held myself all that low when I had failures."
Quote by -Ben Affleck
"The first 'Star Wars' movie had come out in 1977 and had become this huge phenomenon with all the toys and everything - it just kind of swept America. But internationally, it was also a big deal."
Quote by -Ben Affleck
"Sometimes I get insecure about being a real director because I look at the great directors, and they have such command. But maybe that keeps me critical of myself. Maybe it keeps me moving forward."
Quote by -Ben Affleck
"I lived with this tremendous fear of failure because my father was a playwright and a director, and I think he did a couple of things as a child as an actor as well, and he... he failed, basically."
Quote by -Ben Affleck
"The first day of 'The Town' was one of the most satisfying days of my career."

"There's a lot of noise in the world, and the Internet magnifies that energy."
Quote by -Ben Affleck

Quote by -Ben Affleck
"My movies are unadorned, they're not particularly fancy, I think they're kind of workmanlike in some ways, focusing on the writing and the acting."
Quote by -Ben Affleck
"When I watch a guy I know is a big Republican, part of me thinks I probably wouldn't like this person if I met him, or we would have different opinions."
Quote by -Ben Affleck
"I went to the University of Vermont because I had a kind of unrequited love for this high school girlfriend. She wasn't even at the University but at another school nearby. But I thought if went to a school near her, just maybe... I was really remedial about girls in so many ways."
Quote by -Ben Affleck
"Sometimes I wish I had never met you, because then I could go to sleep at night not knowing there was someone like you out there."
Quote by -Ben Affleck
"Sure, I suffered a lot. But it's not like the end of the world and it's not who I am. I lead quite a pleasant life and I'm able to divorce a perceived reality from my actual experience of life."
Quote by -Ben Affleck
"You can say what you want about me. You can yell at me with a video camera and be TMZ. You can follow me around and take pictures all you want. I don't care."
Quote by -Ben Affleck
"I've learned to think, I may succeed or fail, but I'm going to do so on the merit of my own instincts."
