“I left Canada to come to Hollywood to make movies.” — Ryan Gosling Quote

“I left Canada to come to Hollywood to make movies.”

“People don't step outside themselves and make the film they want to make, because they're afraid of the reaction. But once you get that reaction and have lived through it, there's nothing they can do to get you down.”

“That's the power of film. If it's good, it can somehow make you feel connected to even the farthest thing from your own experience.”

“Horror movies started to wane around the onset of World War II, and after World War II, when all the troops came home, people weren't really interested in seeing horror movies, because they had the real horror right on their front doorsteps.”

“If I had been egotistical about the movies, I have been brought back to earth.”

“'Close Encounters of the Third Kind.' Big, big, big smash for me. My birth of the love of cinema was born with 'Close Encounters' and '2001.' Those sci-fi movies I saw when I was a little kid.”
