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

I haven't been to a gas station in years. It feels so good not to be a slave to gas, playing the whole game of war for oil.

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.

Filmmaking is such a collaborative medium.
