Ryan Reynolds Quotations

When I was younger, I was reticent to be vulnerable on camera and everything I was doing was just a really finely honed defense mechanism from when I was a kid, and I was now using this to make a living on camera.

I'll say this: The media wasn't invited to my marriage, and they're definitely not invited into the divorce.

Like a lot of people, I've got a self-loathing streak that's alive and well. It acts as a de facto engine when I'm working, but it also has its extraordinary pitfalls, too.

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

The problem with romantic comedies is you know the ending by the poster. So they're not movies you can keep doing over and over again expect satisfaction somehow.

My father was a police officer before he retired. One of my brothers is also a police officer, and I think they kind of expected I would do something along those lines, like become a fireman or something.

You'd be hard pressed to find more drama in 'Days of Our Lives' than you do in an average job each day.
