As a character actor, I've learned that you have to watch yourself because nobody else is watching. Nobody is concerned with you.

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

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.

The person is a mystery. What I'm playing is the person so I really get to tell you and show you and communicate to you who I think the real person is and that real person is me. The most important thing is to play the human being you are creating, which is my job.

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

You don't just one day say, 'That's it, I'm doing this, I'm going to throw all my shoes out and I'm not eating honey and I won't drive my car because there are animal bones in the tires' because you'd drive yourself around the bend.

First lead [in a movie] requires a different approach like trying not to give it all away in the first scene. It is a skill, a learned skill.
