I'd say that animal rights and environmental issues have always been at the forefront of my mind.

I'm such an advocate for animal rights and environmental rights.

I have long understood that climate change is not only an environmental issue - it is a humanitarian, economic, health, and justice issue as well.

Perhaps the time has come to cease calling it the 'environmentalist' view, as though it were a lobbying effort outside the mainstream of human activity, and to start calling it the real-world view.

The thing about talking about human rights is that when one bears in mind the sharp end of it, one does not want to worry too much about semantics.

I'm pretty political when it comes to human rights and things like that.

If we talk about the environment, for example, we have to talk about environmental racism - about the fact that kids in South Central Los Angeles have a third of the lung capacity of kids in Santa Monica.

Address these environmental issues and you will address every issue known to man. And we keep dabbling in things that aren't really that important in the long term.

There are a tremendous amount of environmental issues that are on the table.

The issue of human rights is one of the most fundamental human issues and also one of the most sensitive and controversial.
