James Cromwell : (5) " You don’t just one day say, ‘That’s it, I’m doing this, I’m going to throw all my shoes out and I’m not eating honey and I won’t drive my car because there are animal bones in the tires…’ because you’d drive yourself around the bend. " - James Cromwell " I was told by my agent that a number of big stars won’t work with anyone two inches taller than them and most of them are under six feet, so you have to be prepared to have trouble. " - James Cromwell " I think the obligation of an artist is to make a difference in the world. That is what matters most to me. I think that artists are the leaders of the world because they do not have a connection to the industrial complex, the day-to-day short-term survival that most people are involved with. " - James Cromwell " My first films were comedy, ‘Murder By Death,’ and ‘The Cheap Detective.’ But now they won’t think of me as a comedian. Now, they think of me as a bad guy, and I can’t do comedy. " - James Cromwell " I’m an animal rights activist because I believe we won’t have a planet if we continue to behave toward other species the way we do. " - James Cromwell
