I'm sort of always trying to reinvent and recreate a better way of being, because, you know, democracy has been "the worst of all political systems except for all the rest." So I think we have a lot of room to grow and be a better society, and it's a constant battle. It's an exciting opportunity to be active.

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

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 anybody who's famous has to deal with their fame in their own way, and I dealt with it by making a film about a kid who's looking out into the world of celebrity obsession.

I want to show people that environmentalism can be fun!

Let's show people how desirable it is to step it up and climb towards heaven.

Everything I do, it's all about making every moment a quality, meaningful moment.
