"I don't really take roles that are going to put me in some kind of dark place. This moment is what I feel like trying to read the room at home and feel like what is going to be best for all of us.", Ryan Gosling/Wall Street Journal. He added that he discusses all his potential roles with his partner, Eva Mendes, saying, "The decisions I make, I make them with Eva, and we make them with our family in mind first. "I think it's happened when I had kids - really, you start to be way more conscious of everything you do and everything you've ever done and everything you will do if you get a chance to do it."
