I was a freshman in college in 1980, the year that Reagan was elected, and I went around badgering people to vote for him.
So I just took some time off. I was maybe going to do two or three years and it turned into five years. But certainly, I'd say it was the best thing I ever did. And now I come back to this whole thing really energized about it.
I've been vegan for about 10 and a half years. It's been all good. I'm obviously much healthier
I think the world's still gonna be here in another 10, 20 years. But I'm not feeling great about things ecologically.
Every year tens of thousands of animals suffer and die in laboratory tests of cosmetics and household products...despite the fact that the test results do not help prevent or treat accidental or purposeful misuse of the products. Please join me in using your voice for those whose cries are forever sealed behind the laboratory doors.
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 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.
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.
