Casey Affleck
In my movies, there has been little to do in the way of animal rights. I have never worked in a movie with animals. No horse-riding, no trained dogs, lions, bears. A few actors, but what could I do? We had to have them.
If I can't see the humor in it, how am I going to be funny?
I'm tired of playing the brat.
I'm not that smart.
I'm not that into the fake meat anymore. The familiar texture makes the transition from meat to soy and wheat products easier, but it's kind of limiting. There are lots of great ways to prepare meatless dishes without simulating meat.
I tricked myself into doing this movie.
I think if I gave my dad a five-minute rundown on the advantages of veganism, I could convert him without too much trouble. I'll do it next time I see him. Maybe. I'm not much into the converting business, though.
I tell people I'm studying Ebonics.
I once came out of the hotel, and Brad Pitt was in front of me. There were all these fans out there and he walked out. I knew they were going to yell or something, but then they all just dropped down and died on the ground. Like 400 girls just simultaneously fell on the ground and died.
I moved out to LA, got an agent, started auditioning. I didn't know anything about how it worked. And since I was really bad, luckily, I didn't get any of those parts.
I make out with Christina Ricci... many times. But no real love scenes. I'm dying to.
I love it: The push and pull, the constant renegotiating of morals, ethics, what to do, how to live... All of us stuck here together trying to sort it all out. It's fun. It can be, anyway.
I love getting ready to do a scene, and thinking about it, and talking about it. But the rest of the time, I'm so nervous and obsessed. I'm just tearing my hair out in the trailer. The whole time I'm really tense.
I love animals, but I love people, and I love people who have all kinds of beliefs.
I just gave up on acting for a couple of years until Good Will Hunting came around, and since it was Gus, it was hard to say no.
I haven't seen the movie yet - maybe I'm terrible, so I shouldn't really speak to it.
I have no pets now.
I have had many, many cats. We seem to connect well. I had a snake when I was a boy. It was given to me on my birthday.
I have had a turtle, a guinea pig, a dog, girlfriends, and many sweet, playful, sleepy, loving, delicious cats. I love the way cats look at me.
I have friends who remember seeing fish hauled onto a boat's deck and beaten to death.
