Ryan Gosling Quotes

"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."

(About feeling responsible for Britney Spears' sexuality because he corrupted her when they were on MMC) "They would come and ask me questions about sex, and I just told them what I heard - like positions and stuff. All the other mothers went to Disney and told them I was corrupting their kids. I feel somewhat responsible for how sexual she is right now. When I see her with a snake around her neck, I think, did I do that?"

"I love being Canadian. I think growing up in Canada gives you a world perspective that I certainly enjoy."

"Acting isn't that hard, really. I mean, I think that people make a big deal about it, but you just kind of try to say your lines naturally. You try to make them sound like you're saying them for the first time, but that's about it. I think that it's an interesting job. 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."

"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 anyone can teach you how to be a man but a woman. You only learn by learning what they need."

(About the kind of women he likes) "It comes down to intelligence. I think that's the ultimate aphrodisiac."

"What happened in New York was the worst, it was murder. And yet, many in my generation seem unaffected. We're all taken care of in a sense, not all of us for sure, but there's a certain population which is interesting to me of these kids that really don't have to worry about anything. They don't have to worry about what they want to do for a living. They kind of have nothing to stand for. There's nothing to stand for. We don't have flower power, we're not the peace generation, there's no war -- well, maybe there is now. I mean it's changing, but until this point it was just kind of like limbo."

"I understand the studios, in the sense that if they're going to spend $100 million on a film, they want to make sure they're gonna get that back… but I don't know how to guarantee you you're going to make that money back, and I'm uncomfortable working with those kind of numbers."

Ryan Gosling Astrology

Scorpio is the eighth Sign of the Zodiac, and you shouldn't take that lightly. You shouldn't take Scorpios lightly, either. Those born under this Sign are dead serious in their mission to learn about others. There's no fluff or chatter for Scorpios, either: these folks will zero in on the essential questions, gleaning the secrets that lie within. Scorpios concern themselves with beginnings and endings, and are unafraid of either; they also travel in a world which is black and white and has little use for gray. The curiosity of Scorpios is immeasurable, which may be why they are such adept investigators. These folks love to probe and know how to get to the bottom of things. The fact that they have a keen sense of intuition certainly helps.
It's the Scorpion which symbolizes Scorpios, and it's no accident. Much like the Scorpion would rather kill itself than be killed, those born under this Sign are the ones who are in ultimate control of their destiny. It is life on the Scorpion's terms, too, since these folks promote their agenda (they are quite the executives) and see to it that things go forward. Others may find this overbearing (it can be) and even self-destructive, but that's the beauty of the Scorpion: these folks have tremendous regenerative powers, much like the literal Scorpion can lose its tail and promptly grow a new one. Fearless Scorpions rarely lose, per se, they just keep on going, since they are stubborn and determined to succeed (this Scorpio trait is in keeping with the Fixed Quality assigned to this Sign). Scorpios work as hard as they do so they can someday sit back and feel satisfied with themselves. These folks are intense, passionate and filled with desire. They're also complex and secretive, so don't expect to get much out of them, lest they become suspicious and exit stage left. It's best not to bet against Scorpios, either, since these folks are surprisingly resourceful.
