Zitat des Tages von 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.
The great thing about arriving at this age is that I don't even care about my career anymore.
I love great animation.
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.
My self-confidence didn't come from my appearance, it came from other things that I did. But certainly not my appearance.
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.
Yeah, it's nice to get paid for therapy rather than having to pay $240 an hour for it.
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.
1% of the population has all the money and the other 99% have nothing.
I'm very happy.
I've never worked with a tail, that I can remember. But there's so much I can't remember.
I think there are a lot of technocrats in the business who would much rather work with just wheels and gears and machinery. Those things interest them more than humanity and I wish them the best of luck.
I've certainly been very blessed with opportunity.
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.
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'm a city boy.
I'm kind of one of these guys who wants to play everything once before it's all over.
I've never been pigeonholed and I've experienced so many different kinds of skin - what man will do and won't do, what you should do and shouldn't do. This is what's exciting about being an actor; where philosophy majors sit in classrooms or write books about human behavior, we're actually acting them out in front of cameras.
I couldn't make it on the swimming team in high school. In fact, I got thrown off the swimming team and was forced to audition for the school play because they had at the audition about 35 girls show up and no boys, so my swimming coach suggested that I might be able to do the drama department more good than I was doing the swimming team.
I do voicework all the time.
Season 4 can be deadly for a show that's been a hit show.
You back a big cat into a corner and somebody is going to get bloody.
Well, I don't have an agenda.
You can change the circumstances but you can never change man's inner nature.
Every job has a unique situational circumstance.
You know, I don't read the blogs, or go on the internet, and I really just don't know what people are saying because... well I guess I'm afraid to.
Distortions control my self-image, like they do for a lot of us. It's irrational.
I say yes to almost anything that comes my way.
I've had biker clubs reach out to me whenever they knew I was in their city.
