Economists don't seem to have noticed that the economy sits entirely within the ecology.

If you're overfishing at the top of the food chain, and acidifying the ocean at the bottom, you're creating a squeeze that could conceivably collapse the whole system.

If you ask the fish whether they'd rather have an oil spill or a season of fishing, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd vote for another blowout.

I am drawn to the wild not because it is wild but because it is sensible, logical, ordered, stable, resilient. Wild nature is everything we're struggling to regain.

To save the seas, we can eat sustainably and be conscious of the seafood we eat.

Whether on'e special emphasis is global warming or child welfare, the cause is the same cause. And justice comes from the same place being human comes from: compassion.

Any honest inquiry into the reality of nature also yields insights about ourselves.

We are blessed with a magnificent and miraculous world ocean on this planet. But we are also stressing it in ways that we are not even close to bringing under control.

But one doesn't wait for a revolution. One becomes it.

Fishing provides time to think, and reason not to. If you have the virtue of patience, an hour or two of casting alone is plenty of time to review all you’ve learned about the grand themes of life.

Try to cut down drastically on plastic. Recycle. Use less energy and more renewable energy. We can all live better by doing better for ourselves and the sea!

Don't allow the circumstances to stop you from pursuing your passion.

Yet there’s no one to beat you | No one t’ defeat you | ’Cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad

It was impossible to understand how brief it is. It seemed like youth would last so long

All the movies that I have done I have not been in control of. Sometimes there is a contractual situation where you go to the studio, and they kind of tell you which ones they want you to do.

Don't shy away from producing your own film and being in charge of its business end as well.

The main thing is that everything become simple, easy enough for a child to understand.

Let's be honest, any show will live or die based on how good the characters are, how good the actors are, how complicated the relationships are, how grounded they are and how much heart they have.

To remember my values, I need to lose certain tastes and find other handles for the memories that they once helped me carry.

Among the things you can give and still keep are your word, a smile, and a grateful heart.
