More quotes by Ryan Phillippe
I want to make movies that people talk about when they leave the theater, that aren't clear-cut, but effective and fulfilling in some sense.
Ryan Phillippe
I have three sisters and I've always wanted a brother, so I was really interested in that notion.
Ryan Phillippe
A film goes through so many hands, that by the time it's done, it might not resemble what you thought you were making.
Ryan Phillippe
I grew up with no money. My kids will grow up with a lot of money and so it's really important to me, and it will always be a part of my parenting, to keep them conscientious and connected socially to other people.
Ryan Phillippe
The idea of being in a hugely successful movie that I don't like would be just as bad as being in a film that I love that no one sees. I wouldn't want the kind of success that felt cheap or that I didn't own.
Ryan Phillippe
The point is to expand the scope of what a movie can possibly mean or be, to get people involved because they're artistic or understand the point of the material, not just because they fit a certain bill aesthetically.
Ryan Phillippe
I've written something and I would like to have my first film directed by the time I'm 30.
Ryan Phillippe
I really respond to diversity, a broader landscape, with actors of different ages and races and backgrounds.
Ryan Phillippe
My first film goes into production in October. It's called White Boy Shuffle and it's based on a novel about a young black kid and it's sort of reminiscent of Catcher in the Rye.
Ryan Phillippe
Divorce was the darkest, saddest place I had ever been. It was a struggle - there were a good four or five months of not being able to get out of bed. It was the worst time in my life. You get through it. It's a process that's not easy, but I get less and less sad about it every day.
Ryan Phillippe
Home life's great, man. The kids are great, happy and healthy. I've reached this sort of wonderful precipice.
Ryan Phillippe
I've made 30-plus films over 20 years. And in my opinion, five of them are good.
Ryan Phillippe
A lot of producers cookie cut movies one after another, but I'll be a little more careful, and have the opportunity to be, because I have the acting career to subsidize the producing.
Ryan Phillippe
You know, social issue movies don't make a lot of money.
Ryan Phillippe
The world's gotten smaller by virtue of the Internet and new media.
Ryan Phillippe
In my career, I've often played the protagonist or the hero of the movie, and there are so many rules inherent to that role. The audience needs to stay with you, identify with you and like you. When you play the bad guy, those rules go out the window. There's so much freedom there.
Ryan Phillippe
Tarantino's stuff in its inception was all about finding a way for him to break into Hollywood.
Ryan Phillippe
But in a broader sense, when I have more control, I want to expose people to new ideas.
Ryan Phillippe
I am miserable when I'm in a movie I'm not proud of and a movie that I don't want to do.
Ryan Phillippe
It's nice that people want to compliment you in some superficial way, but I've never considered that that's how I might be categorized. I guess it's better than being called ugly.
