Mark Ruffalo Actors Quotations

People use the Method as a shield; it shields them from being vulnerable. I hear all these young actors who are like, 'I'm Method, I'm gonna go live in the house, you know, I totally get it, I've done it, I've been there', but one thing I know is it kills spontaneity.

I still feel like I'm trying to make it. It's hard to shed the struggling actor thing.

I became an actor so I didn't have to be myself.

There's a misperception about actors that we actually choose the roles we end up doing - it's more that we're chosen for them.

As an actor, you want to remain vulnerable. You don't want to always have all the answers and you want to be fine doing things in the moment with your fellow actors.

Artists have always been the front line; that's part of our responsibility. But a lot of the big actors come out, they get slammed, and then they retreat.

It's a point of pride that no one would treat me any differently because I'm an actor than if I was a gardener.

Actors, you kind of have these ebbs and flows. These moments where you're in your glory - where you're really cracking - and moments where you're not.

Most great parts for guys in wheelchairs tend to go to actors who walk.
