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

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

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
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.

The only way to grab the attention of the audience is originality. We feed ourselves with franchises that's the opposite of what makes our culture multidimensional and interesting.
Ron Perlman
Image
I don't ever want to be comfortable with anything I'm doing.
Ron Perlman
Image
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.
Ron Perlman

Distortions control my self-image, like they do for a lot of us. It's irrational.
Ron Perlman
Image
Cinema to me is like a religion. If I was going to have a religion it would be cinema.

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.
Ron Perlman
Image
I love to continue to challenge myself and put myself in situations that are slightly uncomfortable.
Ron Perlman
Image
I've certainly been very blessed with opportunity.
Ron Perlman
Image
I do voicework all the time.
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.
Ron Perlman
Image
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.

I love showing up and giving a performance without the benefit of a lot of rehearsal or dissection. It's fun to me to act on a kind of instinctual level and go straight for the performance.

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

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.

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.

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