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.

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

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.

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.
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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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