Ryan Reynolds

“Character acting is a much braver pursuit than a guy who runs around and intermittently clenches his jaw muscles.”

“I don't get a lot of romantic comedy scripts.”

“Four months after we finished shooting, I'd been in New Orleans shooting another movie and my agent and I were having a bite to eat - actually in London - and he's sitting there and goes, 'Wow, I just can't believe how ripped you are.'”

“It's very tricky to throw a morally flexible character onto the screen and have an audience empathize. It's always an exercise in restraint.”

“I remember that coming to America was scary for me because everything here is just bigger, better, shinier, you know?”

“I know there are actors we all want to beat up a little. I think it's important to do whatever it takes, and whatever it takes sometimes involves some physical or mental discipline. There's a lot at stake.”

“My very worst day on 'Green Lantern' was nowhere near as difficult as my finest day on 'Buried.'”

“I did as much as I could in Vancouver. You can only play so many ex-'Falcon Crest' sons in so many movies of the week before you burn out.”

“I'm pretty good at surprising friends and family with gifts. I tend to go towards the more sentimental side of giving.”

“When I'm not training for a movie, it's more relaxed. I do a lot of running. Usually I'll run four to six miles about three times a week. You try to eat right, but you don't always.”

“A producer is someone who actually calls the shots. An executive producer is just a guy that eats more food at craft service.”

“I was a really nervous kid. I was extremely sensitive. Incredibly perceptive.”

“I grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia.”

“I think everybody involved in a movie thinks about the box office. It's the 'biz' part of showbiz.”

“Any great director is also someone who is incredibly intelligent about whom they hire around them.”

“I've had the pretty good fortune of working with some decent guys and gals.”

“אני לא יודע אם זה עניין של מראה, או עניין של יכולת. הם צריכים להיות מסוגלים לעשות דברים מדהימים.”

“יש הבדל גדול לדעתי בין חוסר פחד לאומץ, אומץ זה דבר דגול, בעוד שחוסר פחד זה לא שפוי, אבל בהחלט היו לי רגעים של אומץ בחיי, והיו רגעים בהם נכנעתי לפחד. אני יודע שהרגעים שאני הכי גאה בהם הם לא רגעים גדולים, אלא רגעים קטנים, בהם התגברתי על דברים שפחדתי מהם והמשכתי קדימה.”

“מעולם לא לקחתי שיעורי משחק, אבל ידעתי שאני יכול לעשות זאת על סמך המיומנות בה שיקרתי להורי באופן קבוע!”

“אני חושב שכל מערכת יחסים תתמודד עם קשיים. זה מה שאני חושב שהופך אותה לחזקה יותר.”
