Ron Perlman Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

I’m kind of one of these guys who wants to play everything once before it’s all over Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The great thing about arriving at this age is that I don’t even care about my career anymore Picture Quote #1

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.

I’ve been busy and not busy, and busy is better. I’ve been busy, but I went through a lot of periods where it was lean for a lot of times Picture Quote #1

Working at a job that you hate. Having a career and a life that you have no passion for. That’s hell Picture Quote #1
