We grow up: Ben Affleck on his career ups and downs

Actor Ben Affleck knows his career reads like a screenplay's 'three-act structure'.
Affleck, 42, said he evolved as an actor over the period of time, reported New York Post.
"I think for me there's the idea that, 'Oh, he was callow and foolish in his youth and has sort of learned the error of his ways and has redeemed himself and is now like, maybe, a person of substance.
"But it wasn't that I was lost and now I'm found. It was because we grow up. We kind of evolve," he said.
These days, the 'Gone Girl' star says he is taking the 'downs' in stride with the 'ups'.

"The world is more naturally full of nos than they are with yeses. And, in fact, the yeses are so rare. I have to make peace with it. I don't always succeed. All these phases of life I've found are challenging in their own way. You keep running into new versions of yourself, and having to acclimate to that," he added.
