I feel it's important to show that one thing that you do doesn't define you as a human being. It doesn't mean there aren't ramifications or you shouldn't pay for that but, its not who you are.
Ryan GoslingI dont feel like I would be a good mentor. I dont know what I have to offer in that respect. I do this for pretty selfish reasons.
Ryan GoslingIf you're making a movie about the effects of time, you kind of have to engage time as the main character.
Ryan GoslingI 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.
Ryan GoslingI don't know, I just got a feeling about her. You know when a song comes on and you just gotta dance?
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.
