Há sempre um lado positivo.

Disse Ryan Phillipe, à revista Man About Town, a propósito da sua separação com Reese Whiterspoon:

“After the divorce, I was a physical wreck. I wanted to die. I was ready to kill myself. I was not taking care of myself at all. I would wake up and cry and vomit”.

Sobre como isto potenciou as suas capacidades de representação, o actor não poderia ter sido mais explícito, sobretudo na questão do chorar: “Now, it’s f---king easy. When I was younger, I didn’t have enough to cry about. But since I’ve had kids, I feel my work has become better, because my life is fuller and more complicated, and I’ve experienced so many highs and lows”.

Talvez por essa razão, dos divórcios e tal, é que esta senhora tinha uma facilidade espantosa em lançar-se num desalmado pranto.
