Ben Affleck

I've never held myself up particularly high when I had movies that worked, and I never held myself all that low when I had failures.

If I ever woke up with a dead hooker in my hotel room, Matt would be the first person I'd call.

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.

For years I wrote in my basement. More recently I graduated to one floor above, an office with all my books and music and - ta da! - a window.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.

I'm a terrible grocery shopper. I hardly ever do it. And if I do, there's never more than three things in the bag.
