Women are mad at me. A girl came up to me on the street and she almost smacked me. Like, โHow could you? How could you let a girl like that go?โ I feel like I want to give people hugs, they seem so sad. Rachel and I should be the ones getting hugs! Instead, weโre consoling everybody else.
Ryan GoslingIf 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 GoslingYou 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 GoslingAll my characters are me. I'm not a good enough actor to become a character. I hear about actors who become the role and I think 'I wonder what that feels like.' Because for me, they're all me.
