By 1990 I went back to no gasoline I was just riding around on my bike, taking the bus. I had a tiny little electric car that didn't go very far or very fast. People thought I'd lost my mind. Even my own family thought I'd lost my mind.

When you're in the public eye - whether it be entertainment, sports, medicine, politics, whatever way - you have an opportunity, and I think also an obligation and a responsibility, to disseminate good information.

I'm a strong proponent of green tech for anyone who can afford it, having spent the last 40 years working toward achieving a smaller and smaller eco-impact for myself.
