17 Inspiring Mark Ruffalo Quotes That Show True Strength

Best-known for his portrayal of Bruce Banner/the Hulk in The Avengers franchise and its sequel, Mark Ruffalo is an American actor, director, and environmental activist.

Ruffalo was determined to enter show business from a young age, but he sure went through a whole lot of tragedy before reaching his goal. When things started to go downhill, financially-speaking, his father packed his bags and left four children and a wife behind.


The super calm guy that you now see in interviews, the "cuddly little bear," as Samuel L. Jackson calls him, was a real life Hulk in his 20s. He dealt with professional rejection for so long that he became this angry young man who would punch walls and destroy stuff inside his apartment.

Mark treated his anger with meditation, but just when things started to look really good for him in 2002, he found out he had a brain tumor. Although the surgery was a success, half of his face was paralyzed for 10 months.

Yet, here he is! A man who refused to give up and made it big in spite of all life’s challenges.

Here are 17 Mark Ruffalo quotes that are truly inspiring

Actors sell all kinds of stuff. Why not sell something that’s actually good for us all? Something we care about?

It's easy to do nothing, but your heart breaks a little more every time you do.

A creative act is throwing yourself out into the unknown. The more you do that, the more you grow as a person and artist.

We face a world begging for us to re-address many of its systems, and the only way to do that is to make people really uncomfortable—starting with ourselves. Change starts with being uncomfortable.

Love conquers all - love is the grace that transcends any kind of injustice in the end.

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.
