A producer is someone who actually calls the shots. An executive producer is just a guy that eats more food at craft service. – Ryan Reynolds
My father was a police officer before he retired. One of my brothers is also a police officer, and I think they kind of expected I would do something along those lines, like become a fireman or something. – Ryan Reynolds
A nicely fitted two-button suit is the best thing any guy can have. Guys are lucky: We can wear a suit over and over, just with different shirts and ties. – 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
I never took acting classes, but I knew I could do it based on the skill with which I lied to my parents on a regular basis! – 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
Every time I’ve gotten myself into trouble, it’s because I’m choosing a project based on a long-term career goal as opposed to something that speaks to me at the moment. – Ryan Reynolds

I have a discipline that has served me very well in my career and in my personal life… and that’s gotten stronger as I’ve gotten older. I’ve always felt if I don’t just have a natural knack for it, I will just out-discipline the competition if I have to – work harder than anybody else. – 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

As a kid, I think I wanted to be the on-set dresser for ‘Charlie’s Angels’. My goals weren’t lofty. No. I just wanted to someday quit my paper round and that was about it. – Ryan Reynolds
We started training a month before the movie started and then by five months in, we were at our peak shape. – Ryan Reynolds
Marathon running, for me, was the most controlled test of mettle that I could ever think of. It’s you against Darwin. – Ryan Reynolds
I just love bikes. It’s not the safest passion to have, but I guess it’s better than Russian roulette. – 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
Making a mix CD – albeit slightly old school – is generally a pretty cool gift and something I like to receive, or giving someone a book that moved you. Writing an inscription inside makes it even better. – Ryan Reynolds
Like a lot of people, I’ve got a self-loathing streak that’s alive and well. It acts as a de facto engine when I’m working, but it also has its extraordinary pitfalls, too. – Ryan Reynolds
I’m terrified that I’m genetically predisposed to only having boys. That’s frightening. By the time I was 10 years old, and I’m not exaggerating, I knew how to patch drywall. – Ryan Reynolds
I see guys with, like, eyebrow art, and I wanna tell them, ‘You don’t have to go too crazy on your brows. Take it easy, man!’ – Ryan Reynolds
My very worst day on ‘Green Lantern’ was nowhere near as difficult as my finest day on ‘Buried.’ – Ryan Reynolds
