You really can have your dreams and at the same time have a family. But it has to be a really deliberate practice. – Mark Ruffalo
I never used to get photographed and people asking for autographs. I don’t mind the autographs, but the paparazzi I find weird. As an actor, you want to be able to regard the world instead of having it regard you. – Mark Ruffalo
Commercials that are geared towards kids. I think they should just, like, wipe them out. – 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
