Sometimes I wish I wasn't as conscious as I am. It would be so much easier.

What I have got from my childhood aren't toys, but memories. And happy memories are better than any toy.

Although I can't stop all cruelty to living creatures on the planet, I can be kinder to every living creature in my life.

When I was old enough to realize all meat was killed, I saw it as an irrational way of using our power, to take a weaker thing and mutilate it. It was like the way bullies would take control of younger kids in the schoolyard.

In simplicity there is truth.

I feel that there are great minds up there who would like to see what I can do with an Oscar nomination. I guess many people would change after a nomination in the way they see things. In my case it's really irrelevant in terms of what I do. Still, it was an incredible experience which I will put in my memories, like everything else.

Everything is ironic to me. There are moments I find hysterical, but I'm probably the only one who would find that, except for a few people.
