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.

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.

When I was in first grade, everyone made fun of my name, of course. I think it's kind of a big name to hold up when you're nine years old. It seemed goofy. I used to tell people I wanted to change the world and they used to think, 'This kid's really weird'.

I'm a minor, stupid talent compared to my brother [Joaquin].

It still strikes me as strange that anyone could have any moral objection to someone else's sexuality. It's like telling someone else how to clean their house.

Animals are not our playthings. We are on this earth to protect them. It's our duty.
