RYAN ON RACHEL
"She was inspiring. 당신 know, she's just like Allie in the movie: She laughs like that, she talks like that. She's elated one 분 and devastated the next. She's a very real person. 당신 tend to forget what real people are in this business but she was a jolt of reality, 당신 know?"
“I think Rachel is really – she's got chops, ya know. What's interesting is that I really don't think we would have made the film if we hadn't found Rachel. Really this is Rachel's movie. If this is a car, she's driving it and we're in it. So it all, for me, depended on finding somebody that could do that and also play a young Gena [Rowlands] because Gena’s probably one of the best actors ever, so it's kind of tricky.”
"I'd certainly never said 'I 사랑 you' 또는 anything like that on screen before and it was important for us to find somebody who hadn't either. And not only did we find that in [Rachel] but we found this like, she had this incredible talent."
"She's lovely."
"All I knew was that she was a force to be reckoned with. How was I going to reckon with it, I had no idea. She's not someone 당신 can ever dismiss 또는 out into any category. She's many things."
What’s it like working with Rachel McAdams?
"Lovely, and the truth is I probably wouldn’t have done the film if she wouldn’t have done it."
RACHEL ON RYAN
"Ryan's been doing it longer than I have so he's a bit 더 많이 seasoned and, 당신 know, I looked at him sometimes for guideance. He understood the technical stuff a little bit better and um, and has a very interesting, 당신 know, very intellectual way of looking at acting. I learned a lot from him."
RACHEL ON THEIR ON-SCREEN TEAM
"Right, an unlikely pair. It's interesting, I mean, I think that the fact that we are so different, that we complimented each other in the end."
RYAN ON CHEMISTRY
Can 당신 define how chemistry is created 또는 is it simply theory?
Ryan Gosling: I can’t define it.
So is it 더 많이 organic?
Ryan Gosling: I don’t know how. I think we had a mutual respect for one another. She brought it to the set and I did the same thing and I think that’s what it was.
RACHEL ON CHEMISTRY
How do 당신 create chemistry 또는 do you? I mean is it there?
Rachel McAdams: I don’t know, it’s so intangible, I don’t know how to explain. It just happens 또는 it doesn’t.
And do 당신 feel it’s something that only others see 또는 is it something 당신 feel?
Rachel McAdams: Well that’s the casting director’s art form to be able to see the chemistry in two people. 당신 know Ryan is very different from me, but 당신 know he really was rooting for me, so I think that’s what helped.
RYAN ON 키싱 RACHEL
"You have to be born with a magic mouth," 거위 새끼, 고 슬링 joked backstage with ET. "Some have said about Rachel that she's kind of like what Jimi Hendrix was to the guitar."
RACHEL ON 키싱 RYAN
[Ryan 거위 새끼, 고 슬링 approaches for an interview and so the last 질문 to Rachel McAdams ends up being one about Gosling, when he's in close enough proximity to overhear] What's it like to 키스 this guy?
"Oh, it was… Uhhh, it’s hard to say when he’s standing right here (blushing). I can’t really say (laughing)."
Was that the best [kiss] 당신 had on the screen?
"In my lifetime? So far? [slyly] It was pretty good, yeah."
ON 사랑 SCENES
There's some real...affection, that develops, obviously, on screen between the two of you. But 당신 don't know each other when 당신 begin the movie, right? And yet you're gonna have to do 사랑 scenes together. So how do 당신 get to know one another?
"Well, 당신 just, 당신 know, 당신 have 사랑 scenes...in your private time. [pause] That's not true!" ()
"It really was very nice," says McAdams. "There I was, sipping 차 at the table, with the carpenter himself." And--ahem--the 사랑 scene? "Oh, of course we were nervous, but I remember he came up to me beforehand and asked, 'Is there anything I can't do to you?' And I was like, 'I don't know, what are 당신 planning to do?'"
"Because we had lengthy conversations, from the very beginning. 당신 know, Ryan and I started working on this two months in advance of shooting. We were in Charleston for two months prepping, so there was also this open discourse about how things would go and Ryan is a real gentleman. He's got a lot of respect and we had a lot of communication and beyond that, 당신 have to trust each other and play it out and see how it works."
ON THEIR RELATIONSHIP
"We were together long before we were physically together."
'AAW'-INSPIRING
"It was my pleasure. Thank 당신 very much, Rach.
