I am an actor and an environmental activist. I grew up in Los Angeles, USA and have been working in TV and film since I was young. I just finished a film called The 11th Hour about the state of the world and humanity. The 11th Hour interviews over 50 leading scientists, thinkers and leaders who discuss the most important issues that face us and our planet. The film is out now in the USA, check the website for when its playing in your city! I hope you go and see it.

Personal quotes: "The best thing about acting is that I get to lose myself in another character and actually get paid for it. It's a great outlet. As for myself, I'm not sure who I am. It seems that I change every day."
"People want you to be a crazy, out-of-control teen brat. They want you miserable, just like them. They don't want heroes; what they want is to see you fall."
"You can either be a vain movie star, or you can try to shed some light on different aspects of the human condition."
"It's a really obvious thing to say, but the more people know too much about who you really are, and it's a fundamental thing, the more the mystery is taken away from the artist, and the harder it is for people to believe that person in a particular role."
On fame: "As soon as enough people give you enough compliments and you're wielding more power than you've ever had in your life, it's not that you become an arrogant little prick, or become rude to people ... but you get a false sense of your own importance and what you've accomplished. You actually think you've altered the course of history."
Normalmente nós pedimos pelos que sofrem, pelos que choram, pelos que passam fome, oramos pelos doentes e rogamos pelos infelizes.
Hoje vamos inverter a ordem e vamos dizer:
Senhor, não te suplicamos pelos desesperados, nós te pedimos por aqueles que promovem o desespero.
Não te rogamos pelos que choram, mas pelos infelizes que são responsáveis pelas lágrimas.
Não te rogamos ajuda aos que passam fome, mas pelos abastados que são fomentadores da miséria sócio-econômica.
Não pedimos em favor dos enfermos, mas nós intercedemos pelos que jogam fora a saúde e os que são impiedosos para com os doentes.
Não estamos aqui pedindo pelos perseguidos, pelos caluniados, mas estamos interferindo pelos perseguidores, pelos caluniadores, pelos impiedosos.
Eles sim, são verdadeiramente os infelizes por que perderam o endereço de Deus e o contato com a consciência.
Apieda-te Senhor, dos fomentadores da discórdia e consola os que estão chorando no teu regaço, procurando a Tua paz, e em Teu próprio nome de Amor, abençoa esta casa e os que aqui habitam, os que aqui buscam auxilio, os que pretendem ir adiante, os que se entregam em regime de silêncio e abnegação, para que nas suas vozes caladas, possamos todos nós ouvir a Tua voz, ao invés dos que fazem tumulto para apagar a mensagem da Tua palavra.
