I've never worked with a tail, that I can remember. But there's so much I can't remember.
Ron Perlman
Image
I'll walk through fire to do what I do because the movie business, when it's right, is the coolest art form ever invented.

I'm not a social rider. Strictly professional.

Each character represents a different color on the big palette of what this ultimate painting is going to look like, who your guy is, and just try to be as honest and simple and real as you can possibly be. The outer trappings are incidental - costumes, period, makeup - all of that is rather insignificant at the end of the day.

I just think that there are those people that their resolve is strengthened by what it is that's keeping them down, and there are some people that will buckle under it. You never know which one is which until you get into the eighth or ninth round of the fight.

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.

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.

The great thing about arriving at this age is that I don't even care about my career anymore.
Ron Perlman
Image
I'm just trying to make up for lost times, and I have total awareness that when the work is coming it doesn't mean it's going to continue to come, so I'm taking advantage of this phenomenal period that I'm in now, to its fullest.

It's nice to get paid for therapy rather than having to pay $240 an hour for it.
Ron Perlman
Image
I say yes to almost anything that comes my way.
Ron Perlman

I've always wanted to have my own studio because this is a way for me to finally take all things that I've always dreamt about and actually put them into action.

I had an opportunity to be in Frank's [Sinatra] circle, but I couldn't take advantage of it because I couldn't get over how awed I was by him. It was so uncomfortable for me because he meant so much to me, but I just couldn't be myself, so I fled rather than having those great nights hanging out.

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

I've certainly been very blessed with opportunity.

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

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.

I've done millions of mediocre movies. I've done way more than my fair share. You do what you gotta do. This is not heart surgery. I'm not curing cancer. I'm just trying to put my kids through school.
