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
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
I have three sisters and I've always wanted a brother, so I was really interested in that notion.
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
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
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
I've made 30-plus films over 20 years. And in my opinion, five of them are good.
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.
