I'm probably pretty much cut all the way out of that, but I don't mind. I don't mind, I just did a little part.
It's really been a long-term dream of mine to have an alternative to wood-based paper. Over half of the trees cut in the world are cut for paper products.
Right now there should be a moratorium on the cutting down of old growth in this country. That is a small thing to ask at this point. There is only four percent of old growth left. Ninety-six percent of it has been cut down.
Me, I'll cut up and horse around right up until they say 'Action! But I loved seeing the preparation, the time she took. Before the cameras roll, in between setups, she is so present in the depth, in the feeling of what's going on with her character. And then, of course, you see the movie, and it's an amazing performance.
Since half of all trees cut go to making paper, the only meaningful way to address destruction of our forest is to change the way paper is made.
If you manage to stop the timber industry from cutting this forest, they'll cut that forest. If you stop oil drilling here, they'll go drill there.
Individual action is the most important thing. Individual action in concert, maybe with a lot of other people. It is an exponential growth.
I'm one of those actors who is going to come in with 2,500 ideas. You can shoot down 2,499, but one of them you're going to like.
I'm the only guy in my family, including our cats and dogs. I'm surrounded by these amazing women, and I have concerns about what happens to them in the world,
It's very intimidating, ... The white gloves. . . .
I used to have terrible acne on my face: red, splotchy discoloration. And mucus - I was constantly blowing my nose. Then one day, this woman sits down next to me on a bus, and says, 'You're lactose-intolerant.' It all cleared up in three days. That changed my life. Doctors couldn't figure it out.
Now, coming back and doing these films, I really am just trying to be careful about the quality of the project. Really cautious.
And then going and just hanging with my family for a long time and living the life of Riley, I think was the best thing I could've done.
Bur I think all the environmental groups have to focus on at least one main issue together. That's the move we need to do right now.
