You have to remember that for more than half my life – probably until my children were born – acting was everything to me. I was obsessed by it, and I spent so much time just trying to get to the point where I was being paid to do it. Literally, I spent every waking moment thinking about acting. Mark Ruffalo Read Quote
I’d never taken a job purely for money – I felt that would kill me – but I was afraid that I was heading that way. Then, my brother passing away was the final thing that kicked me over.

My real baby is renewable energy. I feel like whoever starts to crack this nut is going to have a pretty clear shot at the White House. It’s a $2 trillion business that America’s being left out of. Mark Ruffalo Read Quote

I’m like a Depression-era person as far as acting goes. It’s sort of like, grab it while you can and make the most of what’s in front of you. The first ‘Avengers’ opened up a host of things that I’ve been struggling to get made for a long period of time. Mark Ruffalo Read Quote
What makes Hulk afraid? It’s himself. It’s a version of himself that’s weak. It’s a version of himself that’s vulnerable. It’s a child inside of him. Mark Ruffalo Read Quote
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 Read Quote
