Casey Affleck's Quotes

Now things are getting different [referring to the success of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)].

" or "That's a great idea but what if . . . ?" We could sort of build on each other's excitement. We had a kind of shorthand.
• (About breaking his arm) The doctor operated for six hours and saved my arm. I mean, I can't speak for my arm. It might have rather been set free.
• I believe veganism can be beneficial for the individual and the world, and of course the animal, but belief is like laying in the dark with someone and telling them you love them and hearing nothing back. So I've never had the confidence to get on a soapbox and tell someone else what to do
