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

I've certainly been very blessed with opportunity.

Fearless people are interesting to watch.

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.
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.

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.

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 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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

I like to believe that everyone is born with the same skill set, and that it is the influences that one comes upon.

The great thing about arriving at this age is that I don't even care about my career anymore.

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