Ben Affleck Quotes

“I’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.”

“You have to look also to the media, where you have a vast majority of the loudest and most influential political voices in America media from people who came from the entertainment world.”

“Everyone’s entitled to express their political beliefs. I don’t presume to tell anybody who to vote for. I am comfortable telling people what my opinions are.”

“I feel like fame is wasted on me.”

“I’m not the type of guy who enjoys one-night stands. It leaves me feeling very empty and cynical. It’s not even fun sexually. I need to feel something for the woman and entertain the vain hope that it may lead to a relationship.”

“Rumors about me? Calista Flockhart, Pam Anderson, and Matt Damon. That’s who I’m dating.”

“If I ever woke up with a dead hooker in my hotel room, Matt would be the first person I’d call.”

“I’ve finally learnt how to say, No comment. To appear in the tabloids is a real learning curve and a steep one at that. You had better learn quick or you get burnt.”

“I hate the whole reluctant sex-symbol thing. It’s such bull. You see these dudes greased up, in their underwear, talking about how they don’t want to be a sex symbol.”

“Nobody I represent is pretending to be the pope or a role model for young people. People have to live their lives. They have the right to smoke if they want.”

“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.”

“Marriage hasn’t been my thing. But gay people, knock yourselves out!”

“My mother gets all mad at me if I stay in a hotel. I’m 31-years-old, and I don’t want to sleep on a sleeping bag down in the basement. It’s humiliating.”

“There is nothing worse that a thirteen-year-old boy. You’re embarrassed by your parents, and you’re trying to find your independance because, deep inside, you are so dependent on your mom.”

“When I look up at the screen and see myself I always have to laugh. Not because I think I’m doing a horrible job, quite the contrary, I just feel it’s so surreal to feel like one person can entertain so many at one time.”

“All I do, really, is go to work and try to be professional, be on time and be prepared.”

“I just feel like sometimes I’m a force to be dealt with. My talents are sometimes overused and also sometimes underused. It’s not easy being me.”
