"This is a little overwhelming for two guys who've never even won the raffle." "Anybody who says there's no such thing as professional jealousy in this business is a liar. But I always wished people the best. Maybe I'm naive, but I felt if I just kept plugging away, it would work out for me too."
(Ben talks about how Hollywood is)
"On the night of the awards, I carried the Oscar around waist-high. I never had so many women ask me 'Can I touch it?' in my life. Sadly, they were talking about the statuette."
"Beautiful women scare me."
"I have this whole reluctant sex-symbol thing. You see these dudes greased up with baby oil, in their underwear, talking about how they don't want to be a sex symbol."
"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."
"Yes, 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 a President."
"I don't think of it as 'I'm a bike guy'. I can't stand those guys who talk to you and all they say is, 'Gonna put my leathers on and hit the canyons.' I'm not Adrenaline-Junkie Guy."
"The reason I'm single is because I wouldn't want to be with anybody right now who would be willing to be with me."
"[Jennifer] is always the one who goes downstairs to check if we hear a noise during the night"
"I'm not stylish enough to be gay. I have trouble trying to pick out which shoes go with which pants."
"You're fighting the British, too. I mean, come on, it's just the British...not like you were fighting a real army. Kidding, kidding. Only domestic press here, right?" -On the Revolutionary War
"'Affleck, you suck!', was all I made out as a full can of beer sailed by, inches from my head."
"Boy, I get one or two drinks in me and I am
such a dumb-ass."
"Everyone agrees that Clinton did a great job as president, right?" -Ben on Politically Incorrect
"Nobody wanted to listen to my little lame jokes and one-liners before, but now they flash the laugh sign and I get big laughs."
"Then I started having a good time. In fact, I had too good a time; I started telling dirty jokes to the astronauts. I figured, 'Astronauts, they've got the right stuff. They're guys' guys.' I started telling them, 'I'll introduce you to Cindy Crawford,' whom I'd never even met, and generally entertaining them with wild, fabricated stories of Hollywood debauchery. Until I heard over the speaker: 'There are some schoolchildren visiting.'"-On being in the water tank at NASA for 'Armageddon'
"They make you very aware that it cost $10 million, so don't break it." -The NASA Suits on the set of 'Armageddon'
"Rumors about me? Calista Flockhart, Pam Anderson, and Matt Damon. That's who I'm dating."
"I'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."
"I kinda see my current position like this: 'Here's your five minutes in the toy store, so you gotta do all the good movies you can before Chuck Woolery rings the bell."
"I'm not known for having great relationships with ex-girlfriends, but I've been able to continue one with Gwyneth that's really valuable."
"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."
"You [Maria Shriver] are so wonderful. You are so beautiful. I have wanted to meet you for the longest time. I'm hitting on you because you're husband is on the other side of the room."
"I think the only real triumph for me would be to look back and be able to call myself a good father, a good husband, and a good man."
"Sometimes it's Britney Spears, and sometimes it's Carrie Fisher. I can't tell if I have a Lolita Complex or an Oedipus Complex." - On the celebrity women the tabloids falsely link him to
"We tried to be honest and fair on the movie. The Japanese, for example, are presented as honorable people who felt threatened by the United States. I would not have made this movie if I thought it was a piece of propaganda." - On Pearl Harbor
"If I was half as brave as Kate, I'd be twice the man I want to be." - On co-actress Kate Beckinsale in Pearl Harbor
"After Chasing Amy, a few people came up to me and said, 'Did anyone ever tell you that you look like Ben Affleck?' I thought that was really weird."
"She says, 'Why are you dating that Britney Spears? She's too young for you and she's dating that nice boy from 98 Backstreet.'" - On his mom believing what she reads about his love life in the tabloids
"I'm sorry I dragged you from whatever gay-serial-killers-who-ride-horses-and-like-to-play-golf, touchy-feely picture you were going to do this week."
(Ben taunts Matt Damon in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back)
"Almost every relationship I've ever been in has basically been a train wreck."
