I've been planted here to be a vessel for acting... That's why I'm really taking any part, regardless of how complicated it's going to be.

We must set an example now and move environmentalism from being the philosophy of a passionate minority ... to a way of life that automatically integrates ecology into governmental policy and normal living standards.

[Success] always starts with the material; it always starts with the truth and honesty of the characters that you read in the screenplay and that's rarely something that can be remedied if it's simply not there by the time you shoot the film. Thank God we had that.

I get a friend to travel with me... I need somebody to bring me back to who I am. It's hard to be alone.

When I can't immediately define the character, and there's an element of mystery to it and still a lot to be explored, that's when I say yes.

If we do not act together, we will surely perish.

I always wanted to be an actor and I'd never dreamt that not only would I be able to do this for a living, but also on top of that I'd be able to choose and steer the course of my own career.
