"I've been able to see other people's careers and how they've worked out and it's been an education. And so I've really enjoyed my career. It's been exactly what I wanted and I feel very blessed and happy with it," Affleck said.

He added he has been in the industry for more than two decades and gone through various ups and downs.

"I've been out here since I was 17-years-old and so I've gotten to know lots of actors who have had a lot of success and some failures and some hard times and some success again," the actor added.
