You can't expect people to do the right thing or else they will go to hell. We are already in hell!

Celebrities become divas because they get pampered so much, babied so much - then they get used to it.

The problem with modern consumption and mass-produced products is they're designed to just literally be shoved into our mouths and rushed.

I really do believe that in order to overcome our environmental shortcomings, we have to act united as a people, and that means that every individual has to participate and do their part. Certainly, we need government and legislation, but the governments really listen to people, so we all have to bring to the table our own effort or our own passion in whatever way that manifests itself.

I've been given the opportunity to be alive in this day and age, and it's rare.

I'm a filmmaker, I'm a storyteller, an entertainer, if you will, so what can I do to participate? Well, I'm not a scientist; I'm not an expert on environmental law; I'm a guy that can tell stories. So I always look for a way to communicate ideas and help to spread excitement for change.

I think it's important that we run that tension between the way things are, in terms of the way we're governed, and the way we sort of become complacent.
