"We're all subject to this sort of insecurity in this business," the 52-year-old told Deadline earlier this month. "Whether we're actors or directors or writers, the phone could stop ringing for us."
"This is the only thing I can count on, this upfront money. I don't know when this might go away," Affleck continued. "I'm one errant remark away from being canceled, or I'm one movie bomb away from never working again, and I've got a family and so forth."
"I've been in movies like 'Gigli,' that's a famous example. I got a big cash payday for that. Well, it doesn't feel right in retrospect because they [the studio] lost money."
"But it also doesn't sit right with people when they go, wait a minute, we all sacrificed to be committed to this. And then the old story about the $10 million movie that's made $200 million and nobody's seen a nickel."
