Ryan Phillippe Is a Work in Progress

Actor Ryan Phillippe recently sat down for an interview with Women's Health Magazine. Here's what he had to say:

What do you sleep in? 
"Naked."

Sexiest on a woman: lingerie or naked? 
"Naked."

ON WHAT FRIGHTENS HIM:
"Very little. I try to scare myself. I've been on locations where people are like, "Don't go on the fifth floor! It's haunted." I'll be the first one to go to the fifth floor. But the world is chaotic and unpredictable, and there's so much random violence out there. And when you have [teenage kids], there are things you worry about when they're going out. Those would be my fears."

ON BEING A WORK IN PROGRESS:
"I talk to myself quite often. I'm constantly talking things through in my head. I took a trip to Thailand, and I had such an amazing experience. Since then I've been reading a ton of Eastern philosophy about giving up some of the superficial things we're attached to, which I'm trying to do. I also have issues with patience and depression, and I'm thinking about how to focus and steady myself and be kinder and better. Meditation and exercise work for me."

ON OPENING UP ABOUT DEPRESSION:
"I believe that depression and mood disorders are on a spectrum akin to the way autism is, where it's an individual experience. I think people fear being stigmatized or treated in a blanket fashion, which is sometimes the response to someone who says, "I struggle with depression." But really, depression could manifest in a thousand different ways depending on who it is. I don't think there's any reason not to talk about it. We can help each other cope and give tools that we learn along the way."

ON PDA:
"I'm not really a fan. It probably has something to do with the fact that since I was in my early twenties, I've had people watching me wherever I go. So I've become accustomed to behaving a certain way in public."
