Damon Quotes

(on his struggles as an actor before becoming successful) I lived all over the place. I lived in Hollywood, then I moved. (Matt Damon) and I got money from School Ties (1992), and we blew it all in a couple of months. We made $35,000 or $40,000 each and thought we were rich. And we were shocked later on to find out how much we owed in taxes. We were appalled: $15,000! What? But we rented this house on the beach in Venice and 800 people came and stayed with us and got drunk. Then we ran out of money and had to get an apartment. It was like everything was exciting. So we lived in Glendale and Eagle Rock and we lived in Hollywood, West Hollywood, Venice, by the Hollywood Bowl, all over the place.

(On Billy Crudup) "I can tell you the actor who I admire the most. Billy Crudup. Do you know who he is? He`s awesome. I actually played his younger version in the movie Sleepers.

But Will, she's been dead for 2 years, and that`s the shit I remember: wonderful stuff you know? Little things like that. Those are the things I miss the most.
