In my movies, there has been little to do in the way of animal rights. I have never worked in a movie with animals. No horse-riding, no trained dogs, lions, bears. A few actors, but what could I do? We had to have them.

After I left LA... it was like waking up. And so I moved back east and stopped auditioning.

A movie's very different from the book, and it's different from the script, and it's usually one person's vision.

I live in New York full time. I can't live in L.A., because I fear people think I'm a vagrant there.

Chickens, cows, and pigs in factory farms spend their whole lives in filthy, cramped conditions, only to die a prolonged and painful death.

I moved out to LA, got an agent, started auditioning. I didn't know anything about how it worked. And since I was really bad, luckily, I didn't get any of those parts.

I have a very bad relationship with mice.
