One of the things about animal rights, which is not the only thing that I care about in this world, is that your money can bring success. I see results.

A lot of charities spend a million dollars on a fundraiser to make $15,000. It's a social swirl. They do some great stuff and then - it's called mission drift. It becomes more about the parties.

I don't think the spirit of Hollywood is such a spirit of generosity. I think people really begrudge giving. In New York, it's like that.

To make a coverage decision, doesn't one have to make a medical judgment?

I've conducted an experiment on my kids. Instead of denying them access to media, I've encouraged it. They read comic books, play Nintendo and watch way too much TV.

I have no neighbours other than animals and Joshua Trees.
