Electrify your life! With heating and cooling, cooking and travel, and you will be doing a lot to help the future of this planet. There is no need to burn anything anymore.

Trying to find the story within the story was hard. Filmmaking is such a reductive process in a strange way and you keep whittling away to what is essential.

That was an interesting aspect: to go to war with the Church to fight for the very thing that the Church was meant to give to people.

Artists have always been the front line; that's part of our responsibility. But a lot of the big actors come out, they get slammed, and then they retreat.

I'd never seen anyone do a rebuttal review to some of the reviews.

Even if my movies weren't big blockbusters, directors generally liked me, so they would fight for me.

The working-class folks and the poor, and those normal people living their lives out in the world without the glitter and the fanfare. There is a lot to learn from them.

Some of my favorite scenes aren't in the movie. Because you, at some point, realize that your responsibility as director is purely to the story. It's not to your pleasure.

That's my secret Cap: I'm always angry.

I'm very nervous in the beginning and then I get in there and start doing my work and I feel more comfortable.

Climate change is the greatest threat to our existence in our short history on this planet. Nobody's going to buy their way out of its effects.

There is nothing a good long walk can't help work out.

My dad [...] sent me a text saying, 'You know who you should play? Columbo. That's your Academy Award.'

Folks should be able to harvest, store, use, or sell their own energy as they see fit. This is not a Democratic nor Republican issue, and if anyone tries to convince you it is, they are being purposely misleading.

Nothing anyone says in a bar is true.

I have a carpool with a corrections officer and a construction worker. My kids get to see that we're not segregated based on wealth or standing. It's very cool.

By electrifying our lives, we reduce our energy costs by 39 percent, which is a huge savings in itself.

People are like, 'How does Julianne Moore look naked?' I don't know. She was pressed up against me the whole time. I couldn't look at her.

Burning natural gas will not save us from climate change. It's the same as burning any other carbon-based fuel.

Today, wind is the cheapest energy in America; solar is not far behind. In time, fossil fuels will only get more and more expensive.

You value the thing you are fighting for, but then you learn to value the time it takes to do it and the time you have off. Both of which are precious.

When people sit across from people - gay, straight, whatever - and they talk, they find out that people they may have been demonizing for their lifetime aren't the demons we've expected them to be.

It is a fact that, today, up to seven million people a year are dying from fossil fuel pollution.

It's easy to do nothing, but your heart breaks a little more every time you do.

No great undertaking ever looks like it's winnable. That only comes later and only if you are lucky and are willing to fight and have a group of folks around you that are willing to do the same thing, too.

Every piece of geopolitical strife that's happening in the world today is revolved around energy, either trying to grab resources or people using resources to fund radical groups.

My mom was a hairstylist, but she quit doing that to raise the kids - there were four of us. There was no money.

It's a mature thing to understand that your pictures of a lifetime together with someone were... well, the reality is not what we're taught.

Actors, like it or not, their voices carry deeply into the culture: people look towards them for attitudes, for right or wrong, and today, the mainstream media doesn't really balance the unheard.

I want to get into some television. There might be a perception about me being only a movie actor, you know, and there's this whole new sort of frontier opening up in that medium.

As an actor, you can do everything. I grew up in the theater, and you could do a musical, a comedy, a tragedy.

I normally don't have that much confidence. I usually am trying to talk to directors out of giving me a job.

I've been having a lot of fun with the Hulk motion-capture stuff, actually. The only distinction that I hold is that I am the only actor to ever play Banner and the Hulk.

I have a very dear family and very dear friends. They're my rock. These are people who knew me from the beginning, you know, as a loser in a 1972 Dodge Dart with the bumper literally duct-taped to the body.
