I'm closer to a sloth than I am a stripper. Give me a cozy pair of fuzzy pajamas or a onesie instead of a thong and deathtrap platform heels any night of the week. If I had to choose a vice, it would be sloth. Not lust.

Or Ryan Reynolds.
Or Ryan Reynolds with cake. ~ Daisy Prescott

Don't get me started on the whole Doctor-Amy-Rory thing. It's kind of like ... I dunno. Suppose you'd always fancied Ryan Reynolds. That's fine, yeah. You meet someone else, who is maybe not Ryan Reynolds, but perhaps he's got the same goofy smile. And you think, 'Yeah, that's it, I'm happy.' Then Ryan Reynolds himself roars up in a camper van and says 'Hey guys! Let's all go on a road trip. Bring the boyfriend! It'll be fun.' Only Ryan Reynolds doesn't save the universe.

So I guess that's my life. Crammed in a camper van, sneaking the odd glance at Ryan, squeezing the hand of my lovely husband ... ~ James Goss

I think we know too much about actors as it is and their personal lives and it's this information age where we're stimulated constantly by the celebrity buzz effect or whatever it is, these web sites and blogs and different things. ~ Ryan Reynolds

Anyone who gets divorced goes through a lot of pain ... I don't think I want to get married again. ~ Ryan Reynolds

It's just that ... working on 'Green Lantern,' I saw how difficult it is to make that concept palatable, and how confused it all can be when you don't really know exactly where you're going with it or you don't really know how to access that world properly - that world comic book fans have been accessing for decades and falling in love with. ~ Ryan Reynolds

It's a nice visual. I had just done Blade and I put on more weight for Blade and I thought I might as well use it so I kept it and added a little more. I wanted him to be a big bear. ~ Ryan Reynolds

I've always relied on discipline to achieve goals great and small. At a young age, my father instilled a real work ethic in me - and a fear of men. I always felt like if I didn't have a natural knack for something, I could kind of out-discipline the competition as it were. So I would always work as hard as I possibly could, sometimes to my own detriment and my personal life. For me, I think will power and discipline are very synonymous. ~ Ryan Reynolds

I've had an alarming amount of concussions. ~ Ryan Reynolds

I'm going to admit when I'm clueless, and I'm going to ask people for help when I don't know the answer to something. ~ Ryan Reynolds

There's a very real possibility in this industry of going out and leading your life and then going home and being a voyeur of your own life. You can literally go watch yourself - where you went last night, what you did, what the things that people presuppose about you. It's kind of crazy. ~ Ryan Reynolds

I had to wear that suit, so I put in my required time in the gym. But I'm not one of those actors who romanticizes his trials working out and brags that he can bench press a panda now. ~ Ryan Reynolds

It's funny, because there are so many stereotypes out there about actors and movie stars in general, but I've had a great opportunity to meet a lot of them, and maybe it's just because they don't behave that way around me, but I rarely see that kind of abuse of power. ~ Ryan Reynolds

If it weren't so off-putting for my co-workers. I'd wear my flannel, one-piece 'Hannah Montana' pajamas, like, all the time! ~ Ryan Reynolds

My biggest celebrity crush is either Ryan Reynolds or Caleb Followill, the lead singer of Kings of Leon. ~ Hillary Scott

Doing a film with your friend is probably the best way to end that friendship but we worked together really well. We just have that thing. Chemistry is something that ... I just think it is the last thing in Hollywood, the last magical thing they haven't computerised. There's nothing you can do about it - it's either there or it's not and it doesn't matter if you're friends or not. It was just a bonus that we were. ~ Ryan Reynolds

I remember being upset because I was finally legal to drink in Canada, and I decided to throw that all away and move to America, where I had to wait another two years. I came here to do improv and to try to join the Groundlings. ~ Ryan Reynolds

I'm pretty good at surprising friends and family with gifts. I tend to go towards the more sentimental side of giving. ~ Ryan Reynolds

I come from a family of cops, and all of them share that understanding that they put their lives on the line. ~ Ryan Reynolds

I find that I get a little depressed if I don't move my body each day, so sometimes it's just as simple as walking, and other times it's training for a marathon or some kind of personal goal that I'm trying to meet. ~ Ryan Reynolds
