I have not walked away from Hollywood. I'm walking away from the way I personally did business in Hollywood. The budget of whatever movie I do needs to be efficient; it needs to consider what kind of resources we're using and how to be as responsible as possible.

Love is the essential energy of the universe. It is the force that puts the stars in the firmament, and it makes the blood run through the veins.

I am operating under the philosophy that I will simply use what I need and the rest - even if I still have it somewhere - is not mine. It is others'. It is for the healing of the natural world. And it is in the process of returning.

I love Frank Capra. He believed in the goodness of people and one man's ability to fight and often triumph.
