"You can change the circumstances but you can never change man’s inner nature." ― Ron Perlman Topic(s): Change More From Ron Perlman "Every time you get on a stage or in front of a camera, the whole exercise is about imagination. You’re constantly depicting something that doesn’t exist, and trying to find the reality of it. Once you settle on that premise, everything else is a matter of degrees." "The great thing about arriving at this age is that I don’t even care about my career anymore." "The thing that’s cool about the recording booth is that it’s so perfunctory, so cut-to-the-chase."

I grew very frustrated with the perception that I’m this shy, retiring, inhibited aristocratic creature when I’m absolutely not like that at all. I think I’m much more outgoing and exuberant than my image."― Helena Bonham Carter "I am a contradictory mess but I see it as my prerogative to change my mood like the weather."― Shirley Manson
