I don't believe we're only motivated by our own self-interests. Often out of crisis comes this enormous wellspring of generosity and motivation.

I'm a night owl, and luckily my profession supports that. The best ideas come to me in the dead of night.

I think that the world is in the middle of a huge transition that we have to make to renewable energy. We have to transition away from fossil fuels very, very quickly.

The problem is that everywhere the gas drilling industry goes, a trail of water contamination, air pollution, health concerns and betrayal of basic American civic and community values follows.

Natural gas is a bridge fuel. But it's not a bridge - it's a gangplank. It's either a bridge in space or a bridge in time. The bridge in time we don't need. We have renewable technology right now.

When you're cornered, there are two things you can do: move or fight.

We are letting the extractive energy industries turn the world inside out.

I think 'Gasland' is the doorway for a lot of people to see something happening in their backyard and realize the national and global implications.

I think we're in an era of unprecedented dominance by corporations. I think people understand that deeply; I don't think that's even questioned.

We're not living in a society that science actually dominates the conversation. We're living in a situation where some science is allowed and a lot of it's about policy.

We should be moving vigorously towards renewable energy. The technology of which is right here right now.

Once my wife gave me a wonderful birthday present. She let me win an argument.

I've said this before, but going and playing with the guys that have been to the World Series, the elite players of the game, there's no harm in hanging around those guys at all.

Here she comes that little town flirt, you're falling for her and you're gonna get hurt.

Nothing is impossible to a valiant heart.

Candidates' wives are supposed to sit cheerfully through their husbands' appearances.

Acting time is like flight time: You can work on a simulator, you can rehearse, but unless you're really in front of the camera or on a stage - that's when you really learn how to work it.

No mandatory prison term for employers who hire illegals.

How can you admit that your only hope is divine grace and then throw condemnation at another sinner when you see them struggle?

I've always been proud of my character and how I live my life. So my regrets are few, and the ones I do have, I'm glad I have.

The lightning spark of thought generated in the solitary mind awakens its likeness in another mind.
