Gosling said in an interview with Associated Press that he needed to step away from his current profession for the sake of his own artistic equilibrium. "I've lost perspective on what I'm doing," he said. "I think it's good for me to take a break and reassess why I'm doing it and how I'm doing it. And I think this is probably a good way to learn about that. I need a break from myself as much as I imagine the audience does."
