“I've chosen the parts that have interested me and parts that I thought...” — Casey Affleck Quote

“I've chosen the parts that have interested me and parts that I thought I could do a job with but also were challenging and a little bit scary.”

“It seems like they never say anything bad about actors, they just pump them up.”

“If you have kids, you feel everything stronger. It's like someone turning the lights on in your inner room.”

“Technology is a major tool in exploring and challenging your creativity, but it can also overtake your creativity... My mind goes very fast, and I can see all kinds of images that would be spectacular on the screen. But they would cost so much money, and would they really make the story that much better?”

“I think when I first started acting there were different people who I thought, 'I want that person's career or that person's career.' And as time has gone on, it's become really clear to me what is important to me; getting the best roles, the roles that I feel are challenging and scary and that I haven't done yet.”
