Matt Damon on future collaborations with Ben Affleck

From the Matt Damon Career Retrospective in SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations, moderated by Jenelle Riley (6 December 2012)

MATT: The great thing is we have this little company together [Pearl Street Films]. And so now my partner in the company is the hottest director in Hollywood. [...] I would love to be directed by him. I think that would be a lot of fun. And he's clearly a fantastic director. And I'd love to direct him! You know? He was in actor jail for a while. I remember talking to him 10 years ago, when he was on the cover of those magazines every week. And no one knew more than him what a disaster it was. He said, "I'm in the worst place you can be. I sell magazines and not movie tickets." And it was just a big hole and it just took him a decade, but he dug his way out. And I know what he wants is to work. He loves acting and he's at his best when he trusts the director. He wants some directors that he can trust to work with. So I'd love to direct him in something.

RILEY: We have a lot of questions. Probably half this stack is wanting to know if you're going to be collaborating with Ben again?

MATT: Yeah. Well I mean, I don't know on what, but yeah. The great thing is we have this little company together [Pearl Street Films]. And so now my partner in the company is the hottest director in Hollywood. So that's really good for our little company, 'cause people are sending us a lot of material. And so we're looking at stuff. We've got a couple things we've been developing that we've been talking about. But you know, we really want it to, whatever it is to— It's that 'Good Will Hunting' rule: we wanna make sure that we love it. So we have our eyes open, yeah.

RILEY: Something that you guys could both act in?

MATT: Either way! I mean, I would love to be directed by him. I think that would be a lot of fun. And he's clearly a fantastic director. And I'd love to direct him! You know? He was in actor jail for a while. I remember talking to him 10 years ago, when he was on the cover of those magazines every week. And no one knew more than him what a disaster it was. He said, "I'm in the worst place you can be. I sell magazines and not movie tickets." And it was just a big hole and it just took him a decade, but he dug his way out. And I know what he wants is to work. He loves acting and he's at his best when he trusts the director. He wants some directors that he can trust to work with. So I'd love to direct him in something. And now I'm sure his performance in The Town and then his performance in Argo are so good that now the big directors I think are starting to call and want to hire him, just as an actor.
