I just finished a film with Michael Radford called Dancing at the Blue Iguana.

There are horses people use for competition, and if they don't perform well or go lame, then people ask the vet to put them down to get the insurance money. And my vet knows I love horses, so he gives them to me.

Unfortunately, I ended up kind of getting sadly duped, in a way. I haven't had an agent in 10 years, and now I'm doing some of the most interesting films I've ever had an opportunity to play in.

No one really wants to send their kids off to die for oil.

I'd like to provide information, inspiration, and access to whatever goods and services are needed to make it super easy for everyone to change their lifestyle to a sustainable one.

And I know that the younger generation is doing things that are so ingenious. And for them it's not a matter of a political belief or an environmental stance. It's really just common sense.

The biodiesel we use is 100 percent, it has no petroleum in it. It was already used in fryers throughout our local area. It's already had one life and now it's going to be used again, which is nice.

I'd like to be a giant enabler.

That will only happen if I have a bout of amnesia or if I feel like mooning someone in the audience.

We need a number of solutions - we need more efficiency and conservation. Efficiency is a big one. I think car companies need to do a lot better in producing more efficient cars. They have the technology, we just need to demand them as consumers.

Sometimes it's a character you want to play or a story you want to tell. Sometimes it's just to pay the bills.

It's the first villain that I've played in a movie that has absolutely no vulnerability and no innocence, nothing whatsoever that is likeable about her other than she's so bad.

Most Oscar parties are pretty silly. They're really for people who like to schmooze.

I really struggle with that feeling of helplessness. That's why I really try to get my blogs, and even myself, to point to the positive and look at all the inspiring things that are happening.

Being a humanitarian, supporting animal rights activists, human rights activists, it's all the same.

And then of course, obviously as far as issues such as global warming, something has to be done on the corporate side, there has to be some mandate or some legislation.

Obviously we're a consumer nation and you have the power to influence these big corporations who are running the world right now through what you chose to, or not to, purchase.

Most people are really stunned to find out that the technology has been around for more than 100 years, and that the diesel engine was in fact invented to run on vegetable oil.

My ideal is to wake up in the morning and run around the meadow naked.

I've never been good in the financial and business arenas. I handle the creative side of things.

I love the idea that biodiesel has the potential to support farmers, especially the family farms.

I have four dogs, four horses, a cat, and a bunch of wild frogs.

I find that when I play reality-based characters, it is only as fun for me if I have a lot of time to do research. If I don't it just isn't exciting but if I do, it can be fun because I can learn about that person and the world that they live in and I can become somebody else.

I've been using the same editor, thankfully, she's been sticking with me, but I've been doing it full-on guerilla style... I haven't gotten any public sponsor or anything, because I don't want to seem like I'm trying to sell any particular thing.

It's not necessary to go far and wide. I mean, you can really find exciting and inspiring things within your hometown.

That's a big goal of mine, to try and grow as much of my own food as possible.

Filmmaking is such a collaborative medium.

A movie camera is like having someone you have a crush on watching you from afar - you pretend it's not there.

I just finished a film with Michael Radford called Dancing at the Blue Iguana.

So organic farming practices are something that, to me, are interlinked with the idea of using biodiesel.

I'm one of those people who figures that it will eventually sort itself out.

So organic farming practices are something that to me are interlinked with the idea of using biodiesel.

Being a humanitarian supporting animal rights activists human rights activists its all the same.

People have to know that there are options available to us today. There is another way, and it is practical and applicable now.

Forcing yourself to shiver is one of the hardest things on your muscles and isometrics.

They who love dancing too much seem to have more brains in their feet than in their head.

Dancing is a wonderful training for girls, it's the first way you learn to guess what a man is going to do before he does it.

I don't see my dancing or acting as two separate things. I don't define them separately, so I can't say one has helped the other, It's all the same thing. More than anything I love being on stage and performing.

It took a brave editor in the U.S. to sign a contract for Dancing Girls, and without her belief in the book, I'm not sure it would ever have found its way into print.

Dancing, apart to music with a beat, is my legacy.

Dancing on 'Dancing With The Stars' really broadened my fan base. I jumped off the stage backwards one week, and so many women come up to me now and say, 'You're so brave. I can't believe you put yourself out there like that'. If that inspires some girl out there, then great, because boys aren't the only ones who get to have fun. We get to have fun too.

I got started dancing because I knew it was one way to meet girls.

I had certain physical limitations that made me change the choreography for myself or made me more interested in choreography only rather than dancing. I have never been a person who wanted to just dance. I have always been interested in developing for other people.

On my fifth film, it was then that I stopped dancing.

Life is like dancing. If we have a big floor, many people will dance. Some will get angry when the rhythm changes. But life is changing all the time.

Aerobic dancing is already adjusting to injury problems and will probably phase out to some extent.

It is difficult to produce a television documentary that is both incisive and probing when every twelve minutes one is interrupted by twelve dancing rabbits singing about toilet paper.

Finally, you get the job, and you think you'll be dancing on the ceiling, but I just wanted to go take a nap. It was just like a weight had been lifted off or something.

You don't go dancing in the day. You don't go golfing in the night.
