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.

More quotes by Ron Perlman
Distortions control my self-image, like they do for a lot of us. It's irrational.
Ron Perlman
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
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.
Ron Perlman
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
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.
Ron Perlman
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.
Ron Perlman
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
I don't ever want to be comfortable with anything I'm doing.
Ron Perlman
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.
Ron Perlman
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.
Ron Perlman
The great thing about arriving at this age is that I don't even care about my career anymore.
Ron Perlman
I'm kind of one of these guys who wants to play everything once before it's all over.
Ron Perlman
I've certainly been very blessed with opportunity.
Ron Perlman
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
Cinema to me is like a religion. If I was going to have a religion it would be cinema.
Ron Perlman
I love to continue to challenge myself and put myself in situations that are slightly uncomfortable.
Ron Perlman
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
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
My self-confidence didn't come from my appearance, it came from other things that I did. But certainly not my appearance.
Ron Perlman
You draw on your own childhood every time you tee it up as an actor.
