My hope for the planet is my children and grandchildren.

I remember when I first won the Academy Award, and how much I loved it. I just wish there was an award around that you could really believe in again.

An activist is someone who makes an effort to see problems that are not being addressed and then makes an effort to make their voice heard. Sometimes there are so many things that it's almost impossible to make your voice heard in every area, but you can sure try.
