Quotes By Ryan Gosling

I've learned it's important not to limit yourself. You can do whatever you really love to do, no matter what it is.

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'm waiting to get old - I think old guys with tattoos look good.

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.

There's good things about going to church.

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.

If the character is true, the movie will fall into place. Or at least that's what you hope.

If I eat a huge meal and I can get the girl to rub my belly, I think that's about as romantic as I can think of.

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.
