I felt strong around and always been around people who have very strong environmental convictions.
I have four dogs, four horses, a cat, and a bunch of wild frogs.
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.
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.
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.
People have to know that there are options available to us today. There is another way, and it is practical and applicable now.
Outside of my film work, my advocacy and activism is centered around inter-connection and inter-dependence.
Anything you do sustainably feels so good that you’re a full-on addict as soon as you try it. If you eat only vegetables and fruits that you grow yourself from your garden, or organic food, it tastes so much better and is so much better for you, you can’t really go back.
So organic farming practices are something that, to me, are interlinked with the idea of using biodiesel.
I’d like to be a giant enabler.
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.
No one really wants to send their kids off to die for oil.
Most Oscar parties are pretty silly. They’re really for people who like to schmooze.
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.
It’s rough to feel creatively satisfied, as an actor, for the most part, because you don’t initiate your own work.
I haven’t been to a gas station in years. It feels so good not to be a slave to gas, playing the whole game of war for oil.
Being a humanitarian, supporting animal rights activists, human rights activists, it’s all the same.
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?
