Ben Affleck on His "Fantasy" Life

In an interview, movie star Ben Affleck was asked, "Can you at least touch on the idea of sex in Hollywood? To most men around the world, you're living the fantasy life of fame, beautiful women, sex whenever you want it."

Affleck replied, "The thing they've got to understand about that, particularly about the way it works with men and sex in Hollywood, is that it really is The Wizard of Oz. It's more about the perception of things. It's like Hollywood Western sets, —it's a facade. What really exists is real life, real people, complications, uncertainties. There is no fantasy. It would have helped me to understand that it is in fact a fantasy you're looking at, not a reality."
