The actor, who stars as a man obsessed with a blow-up sex doll in the upcoming Lars and the Real Girl, said: "My job is to fight for my character, no matter what. Even if that puts me up against the director or producer. But Craig [Gillespie, director] was somebody I just didn’t have to do that with."
The Oscar-nominated star also revealed he thinks the only "good performances out right now are female performances".
Gosling cited Cate Blanchett in I’m Not There and Marion Cotillard in La Vie en Rose as examples, before adding: "Women aren’t interested in being sexy anymore, and men are. All the guys have objectified themselves and sexualized themselves into being just matinee idols."
The 27-year-old was reportedly fired from Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones for being too demanding.
Lars and the Real Girl is released in cinemas on March 21.
