I felt strong around and always been around people who have very strong environmental convictions.

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.

I've never been good in the financial and business arenas. I handle the creative side of things.

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

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.

Life is too short to stress the small things anymore.

I love the idea that biodiesel has the potential to support farmers, especially the family farms.
