I was so moved by the intelligence,sense of fun and personalities of the animals I worked with on Babe that by the end of the film I was a vegetarian.

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

I'm an animal rights activist because I believe we won't have a planet if we continue to behave toward other species the way we do.

Pigs may not be as cuddly as kittens or puppies, but they suffer just as much.

There are reasons to have rules and regulations. That I understand. Authority is a different thing. Authority is to maintain its own position by increasing its power and domination over those people it is supposedly protecting.

A vital film that needed to be made at this point in history and has been made magnificently.

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.'
