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.

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.

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.

The bronze powder business, however, no longer required my personal attention, and was well managed by those I had chosen as the guardians of a secret, which was long and honourably kept.

I have done things politically, and I've been running a business at the same time, but I sort of joke that to some extent I do more than most legislators have done in their whole careers, and I've been doing it as a part-time job.
