- Won George Harrison's 1968 custom Fender Telecaster "Rosewood" guitar in an auction in Los Angeles in 2003 for $300,000.
- He quit his job as the Los Angeles Environmental Commissioner when he realized that he was destroying trees by all the paper the commission was using.
- His home is solar powered and he primarily uses his bike and public transportation.
- Worked for eight years as a stand-up comedian and also worked on TV commercials as an assistant cameraman prior to embarking on an acting career.
- People are overwhelmed looking up at the Mount Everest of environmental challenges that we face. But you put one foot in front of the other and you recognize that not everyone is Sir Edmund Hillary.
- My father also encouraged my love of nature. He urged me to become a Cub Scout, and later a Boy Scout, and I found I really liked being outdoors.
- The environmental crisis is all a result of rushing.
- Some would call me an environmentalist. I don't know why. I reuse the water that falls in my backyard in the winter. I reuse the trash and clippings I produce for mulch. I reuse the rain that falls on my roof, and I reuse the sun that shines on my house for energy. I guess you could call me a strategic opportunist as much as an environmentalist.
- If you're not buying recycled products, you're not really recycling.
