A big part of the problem in the world today is that we've lost our connection with nature. We're so concerned with making a buck, and I'm not saying that I haven't been prey to this myself. We are getting walled in, drinking bottled water, and we can't see the forest for the trees.
A grownup is a child with layers on.
And Garrison Keillor I think is a fascinating guy and really entertaining.
And then going and just hanging with my family for a long time and living the life of Riley, I think was the best thing I could've done.
Bur I think all the environmental groups have to focus on at least one main issue together. That's the move we need to do right now.
But I just felt at one point that I was on a hamster wheel, you know? Just doing movie after movie and thinking so much about career related things and I think missing out on hanging with my friends and family as much I needed to.
Even though there's an entertainment value to the film, I think it's very important because you can't really separate the impact of that political message from it. It's rare that you get films like that I think; that really have an important message and are also entertaining.
I do feel like there's a real need for all the environmentalists to get together.
I had a hard time with that hockey. I hadn't grown up skating, so that was my biggest challenge. We worked on it and worked on it. But then when we first shot it, it was so hard for me.
I never was disillusioned with acting because I love acting.
I related to his disillusionment. Thinking that he was going for this big dream. Then he kind of saw through it all at one point and went back home. Then he started a bender, which I can relate to of course.
I think most people in the world, they see that it's not working the way that it is, and they want to see it change.
I think my best skill in this whole deal is as a conduit to try to bring people together, because I think it's in our unity that we'll have the greatest strength.
In the courtroom, it's where a lawyer really becomes an actor. There's a very fine line between delivering a monologue in a play and delivering a monologue to a jury. I've always felt that way - I've been in a lot of courtrooms. The best lawyers are really theatrical.
Individual action is the most important thing. Individual action in concert, maybe with a lot of other people. It is an exponential growth.
My main hope for myself is to be where I am.
Now, coming back and doing these films, I really am just trying to be careful about the quality of the project. Really cautious.
Right now there should be a moratorium on the cutting down of old growth in this country. That is a small thing to ask at this point. There is only four percent of old growth left. Ninety-six percent of it has been cut down.
Salma is just one of the great goddesses ever put on this Earth.
So I just took some time off. I was maybe going to do two or three years and it turned into five years. But certainly, I'd say it was the best thing I ever did. And now I come back to this whole thing really energized about it.
Some people make a great film and then they can't follow up.
The more I studied about ecology, the more I cared and wanted to do something, to help in some way even if it's a small way.
The war against terrorism is terrorism.
There's just something extraordinary about that Selma Hayek.
This is a racist and imperialist war. The warmongers who stole the White House (you call them 'hawks', but I would never disparage such a fine bird) have hijacked a nation's grief and turned it into a perpetual war on any non-white country they choose to describe as terrorist.
Violence was almost an aphrodisiac for me.
We've killed a million Iraqis since the start of the Gulf war - mostly by blocking humanitarian aid.
Well for six years during Cheers I couldn't get another job.
When I was in the seventh grade I did a report about the environment and the loss of species. It was supposed to be only a few pages, but ended up being nearly 50.
