I became really aware that when you're making a movie, you're making it three times. You're making it when you're writing it. You're making it when you're shooting it. And then you're remaking it again when you're editing it.

The problem to me is violence. It's not cool to kill somebody or hurt people.

I come from a traditional theater background.

My kids get very upset with me when I leave to do film work, but they have a lot of patience with me when I leave to do environmental work.

Love conquers all - love is the grace that transcends any kind of injustice in the end.

The abundance that is offered to us by leaving behind the fossil fuel paradigm is very promising for the world and the people of the world. We will have cleaner air, water, and food; we will have more resources to share with our people. There will be more economic freedom because people will be able to harvest their own energy.

Some of my favorite scenes aren't in the movie. Because you, at some point, realize that your responsibility as director is purely to the story. It's not to your pleasure.
