Tom [McCarthy] said to me, "Buddy, you got an Oscar nomination through that haircut! That's the real feat, man."

Artists have always been the front line; that's part of our responsibility. But a lot of the big actors come out, they get slammed, and then they retreat.

We are turning our grief into winnable actions.

Ask people who are close to the natural world: farmers, people who work the land or in some way use the land for their livelihoods. They will tell you what they are seeing isn't so good. They will tell you the changes they have seen in the past twenty years are remarkable in one way or another and unlike anything they had seen before that.

Even if my movies weren't big blockbusters, directors generally liked me, so they would fight for me.

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

I still feel like I'm trying to make it. It's hard to shed the struggling actor thing.
