Q: Audiences love you in the 'Bourne' movies when you're kicking ass and crashing cars. How does it feel to be that kind of crowd pleaser?

Damon: It feels so good I can't even tell you. In fact, you guys were the second audience to see the movie, so none of us have seen it with an audience, so two nights ago when the first press screening happened, we were all getting Blackberried during the movie. You know, they're cheering at Waterloo. And this was because nobody, we didn't know. We came down to the wire as we always do on these Bourne movies that we didn't even get a test in. Last night we were at dinner and we got the Blackberries all started going off at the same time. And we heard that it was a crowd pleaser. It was Paul and George Nolfi, the writer, and me, and Joan and David Straithairn, and Julia and so we just told Amanda to expect a hung over group coming in the next day. Because that's when the champagne started coming out.

Q: Is this film more timely than the first one?

Damon: All the movies are very much of the time that they are made. The first one is very much a 2002, it's post 9/11. All the paranoia, everything that's in there . What I love is that you'll be able to look back and know the second one is 2004. Things are starting in Iraq and this American guy, this iconic American figure, is going and apologizing for his misdeeds, he's taking responsibility. Now you have the movie ending where Bourne is pulling the gun and putting it to the head of the person who lied to him. And so each movie is a reflection of the time in which is made.

Q: How is being a dad?

Damon: Being a dad is still great. So much is happening and so much change you know in the first year... I mean she's walking around now. She's 13 months old so it's like just amazing.

Q:: Is she talking?

Damon: Well, I try to figure out what it is, I mean right now she kind of sounds like a crow. She kind of goes like, 'eh! Eh!' Like that. And points at things. And this morning she pointed at the ceiling and there's nothing on the ceiling and just went, 'eh!' Like that. And I was like, 'well, that's the ceiling.' And she went [laughs]. And I was like, 'now, I don't know what's funny about that.' I just don't know.

Q: The 'Bourne' films have been very successful, would you consider doing another role whether four, five or six movies that the character [?]

Damon: I'm trying to only do franchises. That's my new thing. In fact, the guys who wrote 'Oceans 13' wrote the movie 'Rounders' and I said to them, because 'Rounders' was a bomb when it came out, but now it's done really well on video, and I said, "you guys are writing the wrong sequel. We should be doing 'Rounders Two.'" So, no, I'm open to each case, with both Bourne and I know that Ludlum had written three books but I signed up for one. And they were okay with that. And then when I signed up for the second one, I didn't sign up for the third. I only signed up for one again because I wanted to make sure that it went well and I still liked doing it. And so I've done it and the 'Oceans' movies, you know, Steven calls and goes 'we're doing another one.' And I go, 'okay, I'm in.' And you know, but there was never kind of an eye to being for me for either of them being franchises. I don't think that way. And so I'm open to any good movie. If I enjoy the experience and I love the people I working with and I feel like there's a chance to make a good movie, I'll make it if it's a sequel or if it's not.

Q: You're at the point in your career now where you can do anything you want, so what do you want to be known for at the end of the day?

Damon: Well, the career that I look at, well, Clooney is definitely doing it right now and Clint Eastwood, those are the careers where you know guys, they're acting, they're writing, they're directing and they're doing it on their terms.

Q:: Who else would you like to work with in the future? One name...

Damon: Clint.
