Matt Damon Actors Quotations

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.

If you're just an actor you're reactive. You're saying, "Well, I hope Hollywood gives me a role, or gives me a chance at a role," whereas if you can generate your own content, then you can go where you want to go.

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.

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?

As a struggling actor, youre not looking for parts that define you; youre just looking for work.

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.

I think what makes a good actor's director is somebody who understands what I'm doing and is respectful of it, but who also has a vision and is directing me toward their vision in a way that feels productive.
