"Hey girl &amp;#x2026; Ryan Gosling&amp;apos;s starting to get sick of himself. The Place Beyond the Pines actor revealed in a recent interview that he&amp;apos;s planning to go on a Hollywood hiatus in the coming months, saying that he needs time to &amp;quot;reassess.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ve been doing it too much. I&amp;apos;ve lost perspective on what I&amp;apos;m doing,&amp;quot; the 32-year-old actor told The Associated Press. &amp;quot;I think it&amp;apos;s good for me to take a break and reassess why I&amp;apos;m doing it and how I&amp;apos;m doing it. And I think this is probably a good way to learn about that.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I need a break from myself as much as I imagine the audience does,&amp;quot; the self-deprecating star continued.\r\nGosling, who has been in the entertainment industry since the young age of 8, as a member of Disney&amp;apos;s Mickey Mouse Club, added that he is hoping to find some clarity by taking a much-needed step back.\r\n&amp;quot;I don&amp;apos;t know what I&amp;apos;m doing,&amp;quot; he admitted. &amp;quot;I haven&amp;apos;t quite figured out what the balance is between being able to be lost in it -- or try to, anyway -- and then step outside of it.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nBefore he disappears off the red carpet radar completely, however, Gosling will next star in The Place Beyond the Pines, opposite real-life girlfriend Eva Mendes, 39.\r\nThe silver screen heartthrob first made waves in the industry in his 2004 breakout role, as romantic lead Noah in the film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks&amp;apos; romance book The Notebook.\r\nBut being thrust into the spotlight is something Gosling still isn&amp;apos;t completely comfortable with, he tells the AP.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;There&amp;apos;s a lot of pressure to be the lead of a film,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I have done it. It&amp;apos;s not my favorite way to work.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;The more opportunities I&amp;apos;m given, the more I learn about how easy it is to [expletive] it up,&amp;quot; he added. &amp;quot;You fight for freedom and then you get it, and then you have enough rope to hang yourself. It&amp;apos;s like trying to exercise some restraint because I do have so much freedom.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
