powerful trying way
More than ever, it's very apparent that we are strapped for natural resources. We configure and reconfigure to try and find a way to maintain natural assets, when, ultimately, we are overlooking the most abundant, dynamic, and powerful resource we have available to us - our youth.
I see massive potential for entertainment to create wide sweeping change.
ideas mind alternatives
The youth have a prodigious talent for inventing progressive ideas and alternative courses of action that elude the jaded, in-the-box minds of worn-down adults.
empowering tools world
If we take our youth seriously, provide tools to strengthen their natural prowess, and empower them to make the changes they want to see in the world, then this planet and her creatures have the chance to heal and flourish.
growing-up life-lesson home
Growing up in rural Louisiana, the ecosystem around our home wove harmoniously into our family and into our daily life. Every life lesson that trickled its way into my being came from a mutually respectful relationship between the environment and my family.
creativity diversity solutions
It's the diversity of intelligence, the diversity of creativity, that is so very much necessary to creating whole solutions.
needs planets united
If we recognize the interconnectedness of the changes our planet needs, we become true solutionaries and our united power is unparalleled.
would-be alternatives actors
I don't know how to do anything else other than be an actor. If I wasn't in this, I would be in alternative energy and conservation.
media world social
Social media is changing the world, and we're all here whitnessing it.
Ideas need collective thought.
thinking trying too-much
I kind of think too much, I try do too many things at once.
political agendas actors
I never wanted to be one of those actors with a political agenda.
heart men way
They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. It's the same way with women... or at least the ones I want to be with.
All the women in my life have really made my life what it is, and I feel so fortunate, so whole because of them.
