People are overwhelmed looking up at the Mount Everest of environmental challenges that we face. But you put one foot in front of the other and you recognize that not everyone is Sir Edmund Hillary.
The environmental crisis is all a result of rushing.
One of the regular intervals of meditation in my life, believe it or not, is in my car.
My favorite form of transportation is walking. I live in a neighborhood where you can walk to restaurants, banks, and shops.
When you’re in the public eye – whether it be entertainment, sports, medicine, politics, whatever way – you have an opportunity, and I think also an obligation and a responsibility, to disseminate good information.
Los Angeles is a city known as much for it’s sun as for its stars and it’s dirty air.
The food in Yugoslavia is fine if you like pork tartare.
The two most abundant forms of power on earth are solar and wind, and they’re getting cheaper and cheaper...
I’ve lived a slower and less expensive life going off the grid, and I’m happier because of it.
If you’re not buying recycled products, you’re not really recycling.
I’m not a wealthy person because I was never a star. I was a working actor and a supporting actor.

I bought my first electric car in 1970. Its top speed was 15 mph and it had just a 15 mile range – it was essentially a golf cart with a windshield wiper and a horn.
I ride my bike for transportation a great deal – occasionally I ride it for fun. But I also have a generator bike that’s hooked up to my solar battery pack, so if I ride 15 minutes hard on my bike, that’s enough energy to toast toast, or power my computer.
Experience nature. Then you know why it’s worth protecting.
I’m a strong proponent of green tech for anyone who can afford it, having spent the last 40 years working toward achieving a smaller and smaller eco-impact for myself.
You cannot be quiet about things that you know.
I wanted to be an actor my whole young life. My dad was an actor, obviously – he won an Academy Award, but I had no idea what was involved. I had all the wrong ideas about acting.
People don’t want to change. It’s hard for people to change and it’s hard for businesses to change. If I was running an oil company, I would be resistant to change too.
It’s people wanting to do something about global climate change. People fed up with the high price of gas. People tired of breathing dirty air. In Houston, Los Angeles, Bakersfield, and other cities. It’s going to be a critical mass of people experiencing something.
Keep in mind, coal plants claim plenty of birds too. Sadly, hydro claims the lives of many fish. There is a price for everything. Solar does the best as far as very minimal wildlife damage.
