Acting is not about competing. Acting is about cooperating. Acting is about collaboration. It's about your utility, your usefulness, your capacity to add to the work that has already been done and will be done. You're just part of a team. I never feel competitive about acting.

When we protect the places where the processes of life can flourish, we strengthen not only the future of medicine, agriculture and industry, but also the essential conditions for peace and prosperity.

You keep on going until you get it as close to being right as the time and patience of others will allow.

Nothing shocks me. I'm a scientist.

If you're asking me to acknowledge that I've gotten older, I can do that.

I accrued anger from people's low opinion of me and my work, and for the work I might be capable of.
