I never direct myself, because I don't like working with me. I would punch me in the mouth if I had to take my direction.

A lot of people have been bent one way or the other on that. I'm not going to weigh in on that I'm happy to still be at large, I'll just put it that way.
Ron Perlman

I will not do a role that I don't think I can do, that I'm not interested in, where there's no humanity, that doesn't have any kind of handle for me at all because I know I'll just stink the joint up.

Look at the people who are coming to television Ridley Scott, Ang Lee or Guillermo del Toro - all these great filmmakers - actively put themselves back into TV. That's because the environment is very encouraging for bold storytelling, storytelling that you've never seen before.

Fearless people are interesting to watch.

Guys who are larger than life and theatrical and deliciously unpredictable - they're far more interesting than the good guys most of the time. They have these psychological layers that an audience can really cling on to, become fascinated with, much more so than these true-blue, one-dimensional, square-jawed good guys.

My self-confidence didn't come from my appearance, it came from other things that I did. But certainly not my appearance.

Almost all of your life is lived by the seat of your pants, one unexpected event crashing into another, with no pattern or reason, and then you finally reach a point, around my age, where you spend more time than ever looking back. Why did this happen? Look where that led? You see the shape of things.

The luxury of television is that you get more than one shot at who you think the guy is that you're playing.

Cinema to me is like a religion. If I was going to have a religion it would be cinema.
Ron Perlman

I like to believe that everyone is born with the same skill set, and that it is the influences that one comes upon.
Ron Perlman
Image
I'm not religious, but I am spiritual. I have my own relationship with a being that I consider to be everywhere. All and everything. I don't need a church or a synagogue or a mosque. I don't need to kneel down, I don't need to stand up, I don't need to be hanging from a thread.

I lost 90 pounds and my blood pressure went down to a normal level and the salt in my urine disappeared. And that was when I had to make the transition from fat character actor to thin character actor.
Ron Perlman

None of us are any better than anyone else and none of us are any worse than anyone else, and we're all equal and whatever we can do to celebrate our commonality rather than our differences, which is what religion does, to me... religion just compartmentalizes people and makes everybody into a box.

You draw on your own childhood every time you tee it up as an actor.

I've certainly been very blessed with opportunity.

I love to continue to challenge myself and put myself in situations that are slightly uncomfortable.
Ron Perlman
Image
I expect that everything I do will be not watched or not seen. That way, I'm never disappointed when I become flooded with that reality.
Ron Perlman
Image
I'm fully aware that things that resonate and become real hits are the exception to the rule, so much so that I've wired myself for failure.

I'm kind of one of these guys who wants to play everything once before it's all over.
