Basically we should stop doing those things that are destructive to the environment, other creatures, and ourselves and figure out new ways of existing.

If I had to label myself now, I'd call myself a Taoist-Christian-agnostic quantum mechanic.

I've been having a midlife crisis since I was four years old.

So in 1987 I gave up all animal products and became a vegan. Simply so that I could eat and live in accordance with my beliefs that animals have their own lives, that they're entitled to their own lives and that contributing to animal suffering is something that I don't want to be a part of.

I'm not trying to look for pity or sympathy. I was just surprised that so many people in the world of entertainment seemed to be okay with misogyny and homophobia as long as they were profiting from it.

I was never encouraged to believe anything. I was brought up in a profoundly agnostic or pantheistic community.

We live in this culture where there are so many things that want us to pretend that we’re not truly human. That we can be exempt from the human condition, either through intelligence or accomplishment or success or humor. Bu biologically we’re all the same. We all get sad, we all get happy, and we all die. Anyone who pretends that that’s not the case is either a sociopath or utterly delusional.
