I try to do the things that speak to me in one way or another, and sometimes I'm even drastic.

I haven't had such an overwhelmingly positive response as I have from The Normal Heart directly to me. And it's a blessing. If this is it, if I have a piano dropped on me tomorrow, then I would go down thinking, 'You know what, I did okay as far as my career goes, because that's a gift. That's rare.'

The biggest industry hoax is that the United States can't move to renewable energy now. It's a lie.

We're clearly coming to the end of the fossil fuel era. We have the technology to shift to renewable energy, we have the will of the people. The only thing that's keeping us back is the fossil fuel industry's hold on our political system. That's what we need to change.

I always like having kid energy around. I think it's good for a movie, even when you're doing dramatic stuff.

It's a point of pride that no one would treat me any differently because I'm an actor than if I was a gardener.

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.
