One of the big things at the press conference was that people didn't want the accents to end up like 'Fargo,' which they felt were an exaggeration, ... We were all real conscientious of trying to get it right and the person in charge of getting the dialect right was amazing. We tried to be subtle.
I used to have terrible acne on my face: red, splotchy discoloration. And mucus - I was constantly blowing my nose. Then one day, this woman sits down next to me on a bus, and says, 'You're lactose-intolerant.' It all cleared up in three days. That changed my life. Doctors couldn't figure it out.
Honestly, I felt incredibly welcome -- I thought that the whole area in the range opened up to us. I'm sure to some degree there were some people that weren't accepting of us, but at least they weren't showing it,

It’s not who you want to spend Friday night with. It’s who you want to spend all day Saturday with.
And you call yourselves a bowling alley?
Economically, many folks don't feel they can afford organic. While this may be true in some cases, I think more often than not it's a question of priority. I feel it's one of the most important areas of concern ecologically, because the petrochemical giants - DuPont, Monsanto - make huge money by poisoning us.
I think, on a personal level, everybody, when you go through the checkout line after you get your groceries and they say, 'Paper or plastic?' We should be saying, 'Neither one.' We should have our own cloth bags.
Ive always believed the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.
