In saving Tibet, you save the possibility that we are all brothers, sisters.

As custodians of the planet it is our responsibility to deal with all species with kindness, love, and compassion. That these animals suffer through human cruelty is beyond understanding. Please help to stop this madness.

When I am in Tibet, I am very happy. The Tibetans radiate. They literally send out light. The Dalai Lama's holiness generates love and compassion to every human being. He has committed himself to that. I haven't made that leap yet. I haven't given up self-aspiration. I still love making movies.

I think people do want to relate their entertainment to what's going on in their lives. Not everything.

I'm a 50 year-old guy and I'm not in shape like I was when I was 30.

I haven't worked with people who are jealous or competitive. That's a particularly deadly attitude to have when you're working on a film.

I do my work as an actor, but another part of my work goes to the piece as a whole. I can be fairly detached looking at my work and be brutal on myself.
