It's really important to me to show the interconnectedness of things. I always try to illustrate how environmentalism, humanitarianism, animal rights - all those things - are one and the same.

It's not necessary to go far and wide. I mean, you can really find exciting and inspiring things within your hometown.

Most Oscar parties are pretty silly. They're really for people who like to schmooze.

I no longer have time for unnecessary drama. I wasted so much time scared, self-conscious and insecure. Life is too short to stress the small things anymore.

My ideal is to wake up in the morning and run around the meadow naked.

Being a humanitarian, supporting animal rights activists, human rights activists, it's all the same.

Filmmaking is such a collaborative medium.
