More quotes by 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 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
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
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.
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
On his daughter, Ava: She is a relief from all the stress in my life everyday she does something new and it is so amazing.
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
But in a broader sense, when I have more control, I want to expose people to new ideas.
