I don't spend most of my life in front of the media.

When I look back I can't believe how my parents managed, but the cliche is true. We didn't have money, but we were rich in so many other ways.

We are all animals of this planet. We are all creatures. And nonhuman animals experience pain sensations just like we do. They too are strong, intelligent, industrious, mobile, and evolutional. They too are capable of growth and adaptation. Like us, firsthand foremost, they are earthlings. And like us, they are surviving. Like us they also seek their own comfort rather than discomfort. And like us they express degrees of emotion. In short like us, they are alive.

I don't think one should be comfortable standing on a stage with people applauding and laughing at every stupid thing you say.

It takes nothing away from a human to be kind to an animal.

I'm vomiting days before I start shooting a new movie.

The footage that you're about to watch of China's dog-leather trade is one of the worst things I've ever seen.
