People should try eating no animal products for just ONE DAY a week.
A movie's very different from the book, and it's different from the script, and it's usually one person's vision.
Most calves used by the dairy industry have their horns BURNED or GOUGED out of their heads.
You sleep with people all the time that you hate.
After I left LA... it was like waking up. And so I moved back east and stopped auditioning.
When you're the guy behind the camera, you're aware of the reasons for the compromises or the changes that get made. As an actor, you go and do your thing, and someone else down the line then does all the math and goes, "We can't include that thing where he's pretending to be dumb and needling those people, because it takes a minute and a half, and it ruins the next scene. It doesn't make sense." If you're directing, you're the one doing that.

I believe veganism can be beneficial for the individual and the world, and of course the animal, but belief is like laying in the dark with someone and telling them you love them and hearing nothing back. So I've never had the confidence to get on a soapbox and tell someone else what to do.
The four movies I can remember seeing as a kid were 'The Elephant Man,' 'The Magnificent Seven,' 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' and 'Mad Max!' Two of those are westerns. So the western genre is emblazoned on my memory from childhood, and those are two great movies.
Celebrity never really served me that well; it serves other people well.
