A vital film that needed to be made at this point in history and has been made magnificently.
We don't need to eat anyone who would run, swim, or fly away if he could.
What is magnificent about humans is when they decide to turn and stand. If they respond with non-violence on principle and hold their ground, they are really magnificent.
Pigs may not be as cuddly as kittens or puppies, but they suffer just as much.
I was so moved by the intelligence,sense of fun and personalities of the animals I worked with on Babe that by the end of the film I was a vegetarian.
Once a film is shot, the thing that mostly happens is that I go see all the things I would have fixed in my performance and sometimes, very rarely, I see a moment that surprise me and I go, "Oh, that's not bad. That was nice."
If a kid ever realized what was involved in factory farming, they would never touch meat again.
Pets are humanizing. They remind us we have an obligation and responsibility to preserve and nurture and care for all life.
But if you really want to learn about life, get a cat. The way I think people should relate to animals is with a cat. Because the world is his.
First lead [in a movie] requires a different approach like trying not to give it all away in the first scene. It is a skill, a learned skill.
The risks of transporting deadly nuclear waste, the environmental justice impacts and the long-term health effects of both these projects are untenable...We cannot afford to be silent on these important issues.
Usually, I'm the kind of actor where you show me once or twice, I can do it. I don't do it creatively, but I know how to do the process.
The last part of life is a spiritual concern. You need to find a context to put your life into, that will allow you to go through it with as much grace and balance as possible, even if there is rebellion and adventure and exploration and resistance.
Barney Miller' was a lot of fun. I'm very fond of Abe Vigoda. Most - a lot of people on that cast - I really liked.
