I feel there is something nice about not talking. Like you can say more by actually saying less.

I’ve been lucky, so lucky, working with ... Rachel (McAdams) on The Notebook. A big draw for me, when I do a film, is who am I going to be opposite, because there’s only so much I can do on my own.

I started reading all these men's magazines, trying to follow all the tips: what you're supposed to wear, what you're supposed to have, things you're supposed to say, and all the exercises you're supposed to do.

In New York, you're forced to deal with life; it's there in front of you on a daily basis.
Ryan Gosling -
I think that you can sort of have your own personal journey and you know, you can just kind of apply that to whatever characters you're playing.
Ryan Gosling -
I don't think anyone can teach you how to be a man but a woman. You only learn by learning what they need.

I think about death a lot, like I think we all do. I don't think of suicide as an option, but as fun. It's an interesting idea that you can control how you go. It's this thing that's looming, and you can control it.

I don't know, I just got a feeling about her. You know when a song comes on and you just gotta dance?

I'm Canadian. I think that's it. When you're a Canadian, you're always watching America from the outside, from afar.

The problem with Hollywood is that nobody works. They have meals. They go to Pilates. But it's not enough. So they do drugs. If everybody had a pile of rocks in their backyard and spent every day moving them from one side of the yard to the other, it would be a much happier place.
Ryan Gosling -
Parents' tolerance of violence is so different to their tolerance of sexuality. If violence is involved in the sexuality it's somehow perceived as entertainment, but if love is involved with sexuality it's seen as pornographic and is not acceptable.
Ryan Gosling -
I'm attracted to films that have strong female characters because there are strong female characters in my life.
Ryan Gosling -
I like all kinds of movies, I love movies; and I always wanted to try and make one.
Ryan Gosling -
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.

Im glad I have an outlet. I dont 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.
Ryan Gosling -
You have to question a cinematic culture that preaches artistic expression, and yet would support a decision that is clearly a product of a patriarchy-dominant society, which tries to control how women are depicted on screen. The MPAA is okay supporting scenes that portray women in scenarios of sexual torture and violence for entertainment purposes, but they are trying to force us to look away from a scene that shows a woman in a sexual scenario, which is both complicit and complex. It's misogynistic in nature to try and control a woman's sexual presentation of self.
Ryan Gosling -
Women aren't interested in being sexy any more and men are. All the guys have objectified themselves and sexualised themselves into being just matinee idols.
Ryan Gosling -
I'm waiting to get old - I think old guys with tattoos look good.
Ryan Gosling -
It's misogynistic in nature to try and control a woman's sexual presentation of self. I consider this an issue that is bigger than (one) film.
Ryan Gosling -
I grew up in a family of strong women and I owe any capacity I have to understand women to my mother and big sister. They taught me to respect women in a way where I've always felt a strong emotional connection to women, which has also helped me in the way I approach my work as an actor.

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.
Ryan Gosling -
I love being Canadian. I think growing up in Canada gives you a world perspective that I certainly enjoy.
Ryan Gosling -
If I have any particular appeal to women, maybe it's because I listen more than other guys do and appreciate how they think and feel about things.
Ryan Gosling -
I just have my own taste, and I just try and stick with that. I'm just trying to play as many characters as I can for as long as I have an opportunity to.
