Ryan Kwanten Quotes and Sayings - Page 1
-
“As actors, we deal with rejection so much more than any other business. So I don't care how much of a genius you are, if you don't have the propensity to be able to get back up every time you get knocked down, then you're not going to survive.”
-- Ryan Kwanten -

-- Ryan Kwanten -
“Money has never been a huge inspiration for me.”

-- Ryan Kwanten -
“I'm not the kind of guy that inspires madness in people.”
-- Ryan Kwanten -

-- Ryan Kwanten -
“I moved to L.A., and people said that I would never find work, that I would never find good friends, and I feel like I was fortunate enough to find the work, but it wouldn't mean anything unless I had a group of people who could appreciate it.”
-- Ryan Kwanten -
“I'm not really comfortable with who I am to be honest. I feel more free to step into the shoes of somebody else. There's always an element of me in there but, you know, if you give me a script and some clothes I can do anything. But, as Ryan, I'm a bit of a recluse.”
-- Ryan Kwanten -
“I don't know if my sense of humor goes over Americans' heads.”

-- Ryan Kwanten -
“I used to get a sort of sociophobia, and I still get it sometimes these days when I'm in a confined space with too many people. It's not like I freak out or anything, it's just that I'm far more comfortable in my own company sometimes than being surrounded by one thousand strangers.”
-- Ryan Kwanten -

-- Ryan Kwanten -
