Quote

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.

I like to believe that everyone is born with the same skill set, and that it is the influences that one comes upon. What he hungers for is definitely going to be affected by what he got or didn't get in those years when he was forming his psyche and his values. So I think villains are made.

I say yes to almost anything that comes my way.

I, for one, am not nearly as engaged when I'm looking at something that's been completely drawn up on a computer that replaces anything that's in real time and real space. It just engages me all the less, rather than all the more.

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

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.
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.

I think now that I'm in the autumn of my life, and I'm getting a chance of having an overview and looking at the shape of how things happen, when things happen, why things happen, I think it was fitting that I spent most of my early career doing mask work, because I just don't think I was that comfortable in my own skin.

Independent film is almost nonexistent right now, because all the distributers that used to love to put out these little art films are all out of business right now, because it costs so much to open a movie.
Ron Perlman

You start talking about God and a lot of people are going to become very defensive.
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.
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.

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

I love to continue to challenge myself and put myself in situations that are slightly uncomfortable.

It's nice to get paid for therapy rather than having to pay $240 an hour for it.
Ron Perlman
Image
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.

Fearless people are interesting to watch.
Ron Perlman
Image
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.
Ron Perlman

I've never worked with a tail, that I can remember. But there's so much I can't remember.

I was working more on a primal, instinctive level. And it just seemed to suit me it seemed to suit my concentration span, it seemed to suit my personal style of performance, and I have fallen in love with film acting.
