The food in Yugoslavia is fine if you like pork tartare.

This is a deeply spiritual issue...Do we want to spend more time trying to care for our fellow man or do we want to just pursue more virtual reality? That's the issue before us.. and it's being played out in the world of the environment.

It's something I passed on to my kids. They really love the earth because they've experienced it from the youngest age. They know where food comes from - it doesn't come from the Safeway bush or the Ralph's tree. It comes from the earth. And water and sunshine and nutrients. My children understand that because they've experienced it. I feel successful as a parent, having done that.

We, who have so much, must do more to help those in need. And most of all, we must live simply, so that others may simply live.

The environmental crisis is all a result of rushing.

As someone who has grown up living in Southern California, I know all too well about the costs and scarcities of water.

I've been in movies with Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson - but I was on 'The Simpsons,' and finally, in the eyes of my children, I was a star.
