A movie camera is like having someone you have a crush on watching you from afar - you pretend it's not there.
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.
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.
Being a humanitarian, supporting animal rights activists, human rights activists, it's all the same.
Everything is interconnected. It's all about living a healthier and happier life and loving life, and making that your focus.
Filmmaking is such a collaborative medium.
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.
I had an opportunity to go to Rwanda for World Water Day. I thought it would be such an incredible opportunity.
I have four dogs, four horses, a cat, and a bunch of wild frogs.
I just finished a film with Michael Radford called Dancing at the Blue Iguana.
I live in a place where they are constantly threatening to destroy the landscape for the mining of our natural resources, (so) it's just something I've always been really aware of.
I love the idea that biodiesel has the potential to support farmers, especially the family farms.
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.
I started acting when I was living here and I was about 11 and the whole impetus was that I could live in an imaginary world.
I'd like to be a giant enabler.
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.
I'm not so thrilled about the factory farming movement in our country and also pesticides - you don't want to cut off your nose to spite your face.
I'm one of those people who figures that it will eventually sort itself out.
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.
I've never been good in the financial and business arenas. I handle the creative side of things.
It's not necessary to go far and wide. I mean, you can really find exciting and inspiring things within your hometown.
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.
Most Oscar parties are pretty silly. They're really for people who like to schmooze.
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.
My ideal is to wake up in the morning and run around the meadow naked.
No one really wants to send their kids off to die for oil.
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.
Rudolph Diesel was dead long before they named that by-product of petroleum they call diesel fuel. It had nothing to do with him.
So organic farming practices are something that, to me, are interlinked with the idea of using biodiesel.
Sometimes it's a character you want to play or a story you want to tell. Sometimes it's just to pay the bills.
That will only happen if I have a bout of amnesia or if I feel like mooning someone in the audience.
That's a big goal of mine, to try and grow as much of my own food as possible.
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.
The combination of trying to offset both the pollution and devastating our natural resources - which are the kind of habits we should get over.
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.
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.
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.
You can't just look at fuel and fuel economy as the one and only ways you can contribute. Another great way is riding a bike, or taking public transportation, getting public transportation on clean-burning fuel, walking, and also looking at the rest of your lifestyle, like what you buy.
