I love animals, but I love people, and I love people who have all kinds of beliefs.
When people ask me why I don't eat meat or any other animal products, I say, 'Because they are unhealthy and they are the product of a violent and inhumane industry.'
I am in the process of starting a nonprofit organization that gives rescued animals a home in a simulated wild environment and, for those who have been tested on, who are disabled, aggressive, etc., their own space to live out their days.
In my movies, there has been little to do in the way of animal rights. I have never worked in a movie with animals. No horse-riding, no trained dogs, lions, bears. A few actors, but what could I do? We had to have them.
People should try eating no animal products for just ONE DAY a week.
The thing about Interview is that it's very flattering. I guess that's all most magazines are. They take the new, up-and-coming star and make them seem like they possess whatever qualities are popular... regardless of whether they have them or not.
Does celebrity interest anyone? It's definitely not appealing to me. I think anyone who's had any real exposure to it would probably regret ever having even entertained the idea.
Directors will have a different idea than I have. It will rarely be a perfect match.
I don't want to be known as someone who is deliberately trying to do things that are not commercial! That is not a good reputation to have when you're trying to be a working actor.
I have had many, many cats. We seem to connect well. I had a snake when I was a boy. It was given to me on my birthday.
I have had a turtle, a guinea pig, a dog, girlfriends, and many sweet, playful, sleepy, loving, delicious cats. I love the way cats look at me.
Since I left school, I've been working on my music career. I would love to be a musician... I wish I could just sit around and play music for myself, but I can't. I just don't have the skills... the skills to pay the bills.
I make out with Christina Ricci... many times. But no real love scenes. I'm dying to.
It seems like they never say anything bad about actors, they just pump them up.
