London - Ben Affleck says getting too caught up in what other people thought of him led to his problems with alcohol.
Affleck spent time in a rehab clinic in Malibu last year to help stop his drinking.
He says the pressure to become Hollywood's 'next big thing' contributed to his problems, according to Ananova.com.
"I don't worry so much now about the things that don't matter, about making everybody happy and hoping everybody will love everything I do," Affleck tells www.nypost.com.
"If you paid attention to the reviews all the time, it would kill you," he said. "I just try to maintain my own standard about it."
