When the natural gas industry was knocking on my door, they were knocking on the door of millions of people. And that became something that Americans really needed to focus on.

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.

We don’t know why God chose to deliver Peter from death and James through death. The text doesn’t say.

Acting, music, painting... it's very subjective. So what I might think is a great actor, you might think is not a very good actor at all.

The Left neither cares about prosperity nor jobs. It cares about equality

The writer concerned more with technique than truth becomes a technician, not an artist.

If you stand, worship, and love God in the midst of lack and difficulty, you will never lose

While I still have more good days than bad days, I'm going to keep playing.

The growing role that the government has played in financing and administering schooling has led not only the enormous waste of taxpayers money but also to a far poorer educational system.

I've got a lot to prove because of the criticism over my weight and moving back down a division.

I hope I'm not just looked as a writer that is popular but as a writer of literary value.

I hate optimism out of insensitivity.
