Quote

My wish list is pretty short. I wish that we had empathy. As a society, we are so wrapped up in our own artificial creations that we have become disconnected from one another and the wonder of our natural world. I truly believe that empathy is the key to solving the majority of our environmental and social problems.

We can't be naive and think we can go it alone we must humble ourselves and commit to routine and collective actions. This is just one reason why I am thrilled to be working with the UN Environment as its Goodwill Ambassador.

That's what we do on 'Entourage.' We embed ourselves in legitimate authentic moments so wherever the action is happening, we're taking pieces from that red carpet.

Find a partner, commit to taking action, and hold each other accountable. Helping our planet is not a one-person or one-country job we need to be good partners and good neighbors to one another. Routine, measurable, and collective actions both small and large will make an impact.

I'm sort of always trying to reinvent and recreate a better way of being, because, you know, democracy has been the worst of all political systems except for all the rest. So I think we have a lot of room to grow and be a better society, and it's a constant battle. It's an exciting opportunity to be active.

The problem with modern consumption and mass-produced products is they're designed to just literally be shoved into our mouths and rushed.

I enjoy pumping iron, but I do try and get the yoga, 'cause it's a nice balance to the weightlifting.

The problem to me with environmentalism is the idea that we're all gonna die and we need to save ourselves. I don't think it's necessarily the right way to go about it, because I think we need to really just improve our every moment and improve our quality of life. And that will, sort of by default, save us.

It's what we live for, to be able to make great illusions. The thing about 'Entourage' is everything we do is realistic. We go to the real places, we shoot on location. We get the real people. It's a perfect marriage between fact and fiction.

I think winter wear is communal. You get some gloves and a scarf from a lost-and-found box, wash them, wear them for a while until you lose them. Then somebody else does the same thing

I think, in a lot of ways, celebrities represent the American dream. They have financial fluidity and options at their disposal.

Happiness doesn't come from commercial success but from the quality of work that you give back to your immediate community.

I think you can find a lot of joy and inspiration through food. I think when you find depression and sadness and hopelessness, many times it's connected to certain food and access to quality and nutrition.

Music is a language of emotion. I'm passionate about it because I think it's the most direct way to connect to the things that are ineffable. Words just aren't necessary a good enough opportunity to express. Words are maybe less than accessible at expressing.
