When I did 'Babe' I wanted to talk about animal rights without going through some convoluted justifications about using animal products.

I play an 89-year-old man whose wife has Alzheimer's in a movie called 'Still.' I play a World War II veteran, I acted with my son and it's called 'Memorial Day.'

But if you really want to learn about life, get a cat. The way I think people should relate to animals is with a cat. Because the world is his.

I don't look like a leading man, whatever they look like. It's changing a little.

My definition of a character actor is - they never get the girl.

The attitude we have towards our personal pets as opposed to the animals that suffer under the factory farm is hypocritical and delusional.

If a kid ever realized what was involved in factory farming, they would never touch meat again.
