I started in theatre. I was at Cleveland and I went to London for the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's birth.

If a kid ever realized what was involved in factory farming, they would never touch meat again.

I'm an animal rights activist because I believe we won't have a planet if we continue to behave toward other species the way we do.

We don't need to eat anyone who would run, swim, or fly away if he could.

A vital film that needed to be made at this point in history and has been made magnificently.

The theatre has built a whole art round the actor, based on the man and his double - the actor and his character.

I still have so much passion to perform... That's who Johnny Weir is: I'm a figure skater, I'm an athlete. I want to have fun and enjoy it.

That's what life is: an open door to all that is possible. And that's a powerful thing.

Necessity resides in the way we talk about things, not in the things we talk about.
