Meg Ryan

My family responsibilities don't conflict with my career. Not at all.

I don't feel particularly typecast because I think I do so many different kinds of things. Whether they're seen or not is another issue.

Motherhood changed me because it is so fundamental what you're doing for another person. And you are able to do even though it takes a lot.

What brings people down is the same thing over and over.

It was not a healthy marriage for long time. It was never about another man, it was about what my and Dennis's relationship could not sustain.

I think there's an ongoing effort involved in trying to get a bigger perspective, trying to let go of things that limit your capacity to love and be loved or your capacity to hear and to really speak.

I don't think we realise just how fast we go until you stop for a minute and realise just how loud and how hectic your life is, and how easily distracted you can get.

I have a very good life, so I have nothing to complain about. Sometimes, I just have existential angst.

The best thing about modern living is anaesthesia.

I don't think I'll ever be a producer who's into taking the meetings and fighting the big fights with studios. I really don't like that part. I'm much more interested in the material.

I've been in this business for years and I'm still befuddled by the ways of this town.

Clearly romantic comedy is my franchise genre, I don't mind saying that, it's true. I love doing them and hopefully always will do them.
