I love acting and I love it in all its different manifestations.
I come from the theatre where there are no boundaries to the style you're doing; you're doing Molière, then you're doing Chekhov and then you're doing Arthur Miller in a season and no-one bats an eye.
Studio movies are looking more like independent movies and independent movies are looking more like studio movies, and I think cinema is better now because of it.
I like extremes. I like to change things up and keep from getting complacent or stale.
I try to do the things that speak to me in one way or another, and sometimes I'm even drastic.
A leader in America or anyone who says they truly care about this nation without taking some kind of action is either a liar or insane. In either case, they are unfit to lead.
I'd never seen anyone do a rebuttal review to some of the reviews.
My first cut was three hours and 17 minutes. And then I just became very shrewd about the editing.
Actors, you kind of have these ebbs and flows. These moments where you're in your glory - where you're really cracking - and moments where you're not.
Renewable energy fits well into the conservative mindset by allowing competition into the energy markets so that consumers have choice. The system as it is, with big utilities monopolizing the energy playing field or fossil fuel energy being given massive subsidies so that they are on a kind of corporate welfare, is the antithesis of conservative principles.
Climate change is not going away. It will only get more extreme and more dangerous with time. There is no hiding from it. Yes, those living in poverty today will be hit first and the hardest, but we are all going to feel it and see it. We already are.
When you have to fight for the things you love, you have to measure the value of those things in ways you may not in any other way.
Climate change is the greatest threat to our existence in our short history on this planet. Nobody's going to buy their way out of its effects.
My kids get very upset with me when I leave to do film work, but they have a lot of patience with me when I leave to do environmental work.
