Blake Lively Jokes That She's Only in Love With Ryan Reynolds "Most of the Time"
![On being called perfect: "It's nonsense. It simplifies people. Not all men, but a subsection of men have a desire to understand and control women. To do that, you have to paint them into this thing you can wrap your head around. But women are complex. It also is [a reminder] that what you see in the media is not real life. The night before an interview, I have complete anxiety: How is this person going to spin me? So when you read, 'Oh, she's got a perfect life,' or 'Her life is crumbling' — they pick narratives for everyone. And the narratives stick."
On her husband's parenting tweets: "He may as well work for the Enquirer. When he says 'my daughter,' he's never, ever talking about her. Everything is a completely made-up scenario. He'll run them by me sometimes just to make me laugh. But oh, I'm so in love with him when he writes that stuff. I mean, I'm in love with him most of the time, but especially with that."
On saying she loves her husband "most of the time": "I said, 'Most of the time,' because if I say, 'I'm so in love with him all the time,' then you get that eye-rolling, 'Oh, her life is so great, she's so perfect.' So it's, like, my defense mechanism."
On whether she thought she would still be friends with her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants costars: "Yes, and I'm grateful we are still friends. They're three of my very best friends and role models. They're so artistic, and they're activists. They're wives, and most of us are mothers. They're producers, directors, and writers. They're not limited. They're unlimited."](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/ps-image-unavailable.png "On being called perfect: \"It's nonsense. It simplifies people.
