Summary
GQ's new interview quotes Damon saying Hollywood's uncertainty and "ruthless" culture have made it harder to stay present as a father while his daughters get older.
At 55, Damon said years of nonstop work after 1997's "Good Will Hunting" were driven partly by actors' fear that "the phone's going to stop ringing."
The father of 4 said he has slowed down over the past decade to spend more time at home and focus on Artists Equity, the production company he founded with Ben Affleck.
Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" still pulled him back in: Damon said playing Odysseus felt like a last chance to make the kind of movie he grew up with as the business changes.
