My ideal is to wake up in the morning and run around the meadow naked.
It's not necessary to go far and wide. I mean, you can really find exciting and inspiring things within your hometown.
Life is too short to stress the small things anymore.
I no longer have time for unnecessary drama. I wasted so much time scared, self-conscious and insecure. Life is too short to stress the small things anymore.
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.
When you get older, you have a much better sense of when it's time to really recognize that you're fortunate and that you should appreciate your circumstances.
I love the idea that biodiesel has the potential to support farmers, especially the family farms.
It's really important to me to show the interconnectedness of things. I always try to illustrate how environmentalism, humanitarianism, animal rights - all those things - are one and the same.
Outside of my film work, my advocacy and activism is centered around inter-connection and inter-dependence.
My favorite thing is to be naked, which is why I always live in remote areas. My ideal is to wake in the morning and run around the meadows naked. I think it's a good idea to live in harmony with nature.
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.
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.
The movie industry had it better in the '30s and '40s, in terms of gender equality, than it does now, both in payment and in job ratios. It's ludicrous. Are we in the modern world, or what?
Being a humanitarian, supporting animal rights activists, human rights activists, it's all the same.
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.
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.
I love working with the best directors in the world and great material. If I get an opportunity to do that, I'm going to do it. On the other hand, if something doesn't really hold a candle, I'm going to put my efforts where I can be the most effective.
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'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.
Most Oscar parties are pretty silly. They're really for people who like to schmooze.
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.
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.
You have to be invited to the party. You have to be invited to work, which is weird. That can be frustrating. But gender inequality is pretty similar through almost every industry, unfortunately.
I don't watch TV. I think that tends to polarize us and diminish important issues.
