That's a big goal of mine, to try and grow as much of my own food as possible.Collection: Food
My ideal is to wake up in the morning and run around the meadow naked.Collection: Morning
I really struggle with that feeling of helplessness. That's why I really try to get my blogs, and even myself, to point to the positive and look at all the inspiring things that are happening.Collection: Positive
I've never been good in the financial and business arenas. I handle the creative side of things.Collection: Business
And I know that the younger generation is doing things that are so ingenious. And for them it's not a matter of a political belief or an environmental stance. It's really just common sense.Collection: Environmental
Obviously we're a consumer nation and you have the power to influence these big corporations who are running the world right now through what you chose to, or not to, purchase.
It's not necessary to go far and wide. I mean, you can really find exciting and inspiring things within your hometown.
I'm one of those people who figures that it will eventually sort itself out.
Sometimes it's a character you want to play or a story you want to tell. Sometimes it's just to pay the bills.
I've been using the same editor, thankfully, she's been sticking with me, but I've been doing it full-on guerilla style... I haven't gotten any public sponsor or anything, because I don't want to seem like I'm trying to sell any particular thing.
Filmmaking is such a collaborative medium.
I just finished a film with Michael Radford called Dancing at the Blue Iguana.
Most Oscar parties are pretty silly. They're really for people who like to schmooze.
I'd like to be a giant enabler.
I have four dogs, four horses, a cat, and a bunch of wild frogs.
Most people are really stunned to find out that the technology has been around for more than 100 years, and that the diesel engine was in fact invented to run on vegetable oil.
Unfortunately, I ended up kind of getting sadly duped, in a way. I haven't had an agent in 10 years, and now I'm doing some of the most interesting films I've ever had an opportunity to play in.
That will only happen if I have a bout of amnesia or if I feel like mooning someone in the audience.
I find that when I play reality-based characters, it is only as fun for me if I have a lot of time to do research. If I don't it just isn't exciting but if I do, it can be fun because I can learn about that person and the world that they live in and I can become somebody else.
No one really wants to send their kids off to die for oil.
And then of course, obviously as far as issues such as global warming, something has to be done on the corporate side, there has to be some mandate or some legislation.
There are horses people use for competition, and if they don't perform well or go lame, then people ask the vet to put them down to get the insurance money. And my vet knows I love horses, so he gives them to me.
We need a number of solutions - we need more efficiency and conservation. Efficiency is a big one. I think car companies need to do a lot better in producing more efficient cars. They have the technology, we just need to demand them as consumers.
So organic farming practices are something that, to me, are interlinked with the idea of using biodiesel.
I love the idea that biodiesel has the potential to support farmers, especially the family farms.
It's the first villain that I've played in a movie that has absolutely no vulnerability and no innocence, nothing whatsoever that is likeable about her other than she's so bad.
A movie camera is like having someone you have a crush on watching you from afar - you pretend it's not there.
I'd like to provide information, inspiration, and access to whatever goods and services are needed to make it super easy for everyone to change their lifestyle to a sustainable one.
The biodiesel we use is 100 percent, it has no petroleum in it. It was already used in fryers throughout our local area. It's already had one life and now it's going to be used again, which is nice.
Being a humanitarian, supporting animal rights activists, human rights activists, it's all the same.
Life is too short to stress the small things anymore.Collection: Stress
I no longer have time for unnecessary drama. I wasted so much time scared, self-conscious and insecure. Life is too short to stress the small things anymore.Collection: Drama
When you get older, you have a much better sense of when it's time to really recognize that you're fortunate and that you should appreciate your circumstances.Collection: Appreciate
It's really important to me to show the interconnectedness of things. I always try to illustrate how environmentalism, humanitarianism, animal rights - all those things - are one and the same.Collection: Animal
Outside of my film work, my advocacy and activism is centered around inter-connection and inter-dependence.Collection: Connections
My favorite thing is to be naked, which is why I always live in remote areas. My ideal is to wake in the morning and run around the meadows naked. I think it's a good idea to live in harmony with nature.Collection: Running
The movie industry had it better in the '30s and '40s, in terms of gender equality, than it does now, both in payment and in job ratios. It's ludicrous. Are we in the modern world, or what?Collection: Jobs
I love working with the best directors in the world and great material. If I get an opportunity to do that, I'm going to do it. On the other hand, if something doesn't really hold a candle, I'm going to put my efforts where I can be the most effective.Collection: Opportunity
I don't watch TV. I think that tends to polarize us and diminish important issues.Collection: Thinking
I never had come up with a really profound and strong gesture - nothing like Julia Butterfly's. So I figured the best thing I could do was live by my beliefs. That's probably the most profound thing that anybody can do.Collection: Strong
I find that when I play reality-based characters, it is only as fun for me if I have a lot of time to do research. If I don't it just isn't exciting but if I do, it can be fun because I can learn about that person and the world that they live in and I can become somebody elseCollection: Fun
You have to be invited to the party. You have to be invited to work, which is weird. That can be frustrating. But gender inequality is pretty similar through almost every industry, unfortunately.Collection: Party
It's rough to feel creatively satisfied, as an actor, for the most part, because you don't initiate your own work.Collection: Actors
I have four dogs, four horses, a cat, and a bunch of wild frogsCollection: Dog
Anything you do sustainably feels so good that you're a full-on addict as soon as you try it. If you eat only vegetables and fruits that you grow yourself from your garden, or organic food, it tastes so much better and is so much better for you, you can't really go back.Collection: Garden
I haven't been to a gas station in years. It feels so good not to be a slave to gas, playing the whole game of war for oil.Collection: War
I felt strong around and always been around people who have very strong environmental convictions.Collection: Strong
That's a big goal of mine, to try and grow as much of my own food as possibleCollection: Food
Forcing yourself to shiver is one of the hardest things on your muscles and isometrics.Collection: Muscles
People have to know that there are options available to us today. There is another way, and it is practical and applicable now.Collection: People
