Ryan Phillipe Totes Open to Marriage

Ryan Phillipe recently sat down for an interview with People, where he talked about his personal life. Here's what he had to say:

“I’ve faced every manner of gossip, and I don’t take myself as seriously now. There is a freedom and a release that comes with maturity. I’ve made peace with it. We live in a time where being a private person isn’t really an option anymore. [It] affects those in your life who didn’t choose to be a public figure: your children and the people you are in a relationship with. I think that’s when it gets really difficult. Of course [dating] is a challenge. When I’ve been involved with people in my industry in the past, there is a little bit more of an understanding of what to expect, but I feel like when you are with someone who is not in the industry, the focus isn’t there to the same degree.”

On the prospect of marriage:
“I’m open to it. I don’t have a date or any plans set. I haven’t closed any books!”
