I want my kids to have passion for life, to really have a passion for life.

The first time you go on holiday is the test of a relationship, when you really find out if you're compatible or not. You find out what's annoying about that person, and whether or not you're willing to put up with that because you love them and you don't want to be alone.

I placed myself in amongst the animal kingdom so that I would be able to confront myself actually. It did not start out as the intention to serve and protect the lives of the innocent within the animal kingdom.

By this of course I mention the fact that I was an alcoholic and drug addict before I left to live in the wild.
I don't make movies about issues. This is my same litmus test for all the movies I love: Is it a great character on a great emotional quest with a great emotional need?

I'm just a human being who's moved by certain things, and if certain things break my heart, I set out to fix them.
