I like to disappear in the parts I play.
Mark Ruffalo

I like to think the movies that I've picked have something worthwhile to say. Something relevant.
Mark Ruffalo

I live a bourgeois life.
Mark Ruffalo

I love acting with kids, cause they're great acting partners. They're totally present. Even when they're acting, they're still available and you can crack them up or something weird will happen and they'll go with it.
Mark Ruffalo

I ran to my marriage, I was happily ready to take on marriage.
Mark Ruffalo

I remember riding my bike down the boardwalk with nowhere to go and looking at the girls. It was really innocent.
Mark Ruffalo

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

I think of marriage as a garden. You have to tend to it. Respect it, take care of it, feed it. Make sure everyone is getting the right amount of, um, sunlight.
Mark Ruffalo

I think we've all been kind of... everyone's been hurt, everyone's felt loss, everyone has exultation, everyone has a need to be loved, or to have lost love, so when you play a character, you're pulling out those little threads and turning them up a bit.
Mark Ruffalo

I want to do a western. Nobody does westerns anymore.
Mark Ruffalo

I was bartending for a long time and going on auditions and was constantly being rebuffed.
Mark Ruffalo

I've just been more interested in doing film right now and I don't want to go away from my family for six months, which was what I would have had to have done if I did the play on Broadway.
Mark Ruffalo

It's a difficult undertaking. I've been married for four years and I see this movie as a cautionary tale about people who've gone deeply out of communication.
Mark Ruffalo

Literally, I think I've quit acting three or four times, only for a few days. Maybe for a few weeks.
Mark Ruffalo

My belief about acting in one foot on a banana peel and the other one in the grave.
Mark Ruffalo

My personal belief is that you carry your own water in a relationship. If you see a girl and you think she's hot, that's a very human reaction, but you don't go and tell your spouse that, you know? So in one way it's how you behave.
Mark Ruffalo

People say funny things all the time during really serious moments in life.
Mark Ruffalo

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.
Mark Ruffalo

The one great thing about a continuing collaboration is that they know you. And if you're really lucky, they really believe in you and think that your talent has some unending bounds to it.
Mark Ruffalo

The problem to me is violence. It's not cool to kill somebody or hurt people.
