Damon reflected on how his quotes are picked up by outlets more regularly now than before. "Twenty years ago, the best way I can put it is that the journalist listened to the music more than the lyrics (of an interview)," he said.



"Now your lyrics are getting parsed, to pull them out of context and get the best headline possible. "Before it didn't really matter what I said, because it didn't make the news. But maybe this shift is a good thing. So I shut a up more," the actor added.

This is not the first time for Matt to talk about his relationship he shares with his daughters. Last month, he said in an episode of "Sunday Morning" that his children are critical of him. He shared that his 15-year-old daughter, Isabella, doesn't want to see her dad in "Good Will Hunting", the 1997 film that helped him launch his career into international stardom.
