Zitat des Tages von Ryan Gosling:
I grew up on Mel Brooks films. That was film to me until I got a little bit older and realised there were other kinds of movies.
I'm waiting to get old - I think old guys with tattoos look good.
It's Shane Black. He's a world unto himself. His world is so fun and crazy.
I've been doing this since I was 12... I don't want to act much longer; I can't do one thing my whole life.
I try to play characters who are different from myself, so I feel like this character is someone who is really different. I actually think that if I did what he did in this movie, I would get a restraining order put against me.
I don't think you can discriminate against budgets, you know? I'm an actor, I guess, so I'm just trying to play as many characters as I can. If there's a character I think I can play, and they're going to let me do it, I'll do it whether it's $10 or $1 million or more.
I feel like I'm always trying to make a movie about the Two Faced Man in some way.
I try not to discriminate against genres.
The Internet is just an abstract place. Sure, I've become part of that in some way, but it's hard for me to wrap my head around a lot of it. I prefer just to kind of stay out of it.
Maybe in my life I sort of put myself in situations that were chaotic, outside of my life.
I make a mean tuna fish sandwich.
I've always liked women more. I was brought up by my mother and older sister. I found my way into dance class.
My first exposure to what Hollywood was like, behind the scenes, was when Joel Silver started screaming at Roger Rabbit at the beginning of 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit.'
I think 'Believer' and 'Leland' were such great things to have been a part of, and I learned a lot.
I've wanted to make films since a really young age. It's always been my passion.
When my films don't do well, I'm hurt and surprised. It's discouraging.
If Russell Crowe says that he's Noah, he's Noah. You never doubt it. If he says that he's the Gladiator, he's the Gladiator. He's every character that he says he is. I've never doubted anything that he's done.
That's the power of film. If it's good, it can somehow make you feel connected to even the farthest thing from your own experience.
The '70s just seemed dirty, honestly, and not in an interesting way. It's not the '80s. In fact, it's 10 less. I grew up in the '80s, so that's more of an interesting time to me.
It's not like I set out to be 'the indie guy.'
Any time you stick your neck out in high school, there's someone right there to chop your head off.
The theme for me is love and the lack of it. We all want that and we don't know how to get it, and everything we do is some kind of attempt to capture it for ourselves.
There's a lot of pressure to be the lead of a film. I have done it. It's not my favorite way to work.
For me, I sort of felt like it was kind of a fairytale... but an interesting one. I don't know of anybody who has had a romance quite like this, but I certainly know people who have stuck it out.
If the character is true, the movie will fall into place. Or at least that's what you hope.
I don't believe my house was haunted. I think I had an overactive imagination, and I was so convinced that those around me became convinced, too.
I'm glad I have an outlet. I don't think I would put my aggression elsewhere, but working on the projects I have worked on, you tend to benefit personally from trying to wrap your head around the way other people look at the world.
Do you remember when Fabio got hit in the face with a pigeon on the roller coaster, and it broke his nose? Sometimes I feel like I'm the pigeon, and the Internet is Fabio's face. Actually, I don't know if I'm the pigeon, or I'm Fabio's face. Depends on the day, I guess.
I have a friend that is a WWII buff, and we sat and talked a lot about stuff like the war and the reasons behind it, and you now it's all in the uniform. Once you're in it, it usually does all the work for you.
I'm Canadian, and so American politics aren't really in my wheelhouse.
You can't geek out with a lot of people about Linda Manz.
As a kid I decided that a Canadian accent doesn't sound tough. I thought guys should sound like Marlon Brando. So now I have a phony accent that I can't shake, so it's not phony anymore.
I don't like to be entertaining. I don't like the feeling of being entertaining. If there was a musical or a comedy that was not just for entertainment but was rooted in something I could relate to on a real level, then I think I would do it.
It's weird to have no control over something that you're involved in.
I always wanted to entertain. When I was six, a scrawny, scrawny kid, I'd get in my red speedo and do muscle moves. I actually thought I was muscular. I didn't know everyone was laughing at me.
I think we're very complicated and we're capable of all kinds of things, and movies don't reflect that.
