"Green is my favorite. And it's my favorite because it's the color of my wife's eyes, grass, trees, life, and money, and Mother Earth!"
About this Quote
Then the list blooms outward: grass, trees, life. It’s a familiar cinematic ramp-up from romance to nature to something like philosophy, the way a feel-good interview answer tries to cover both the private self and the public self in one breath. The subtext is, “My tastes are grounded in what matters,” a tidy little claim to sincerity. Van Dien’s actorly instinct shows in the cadence: short declarative, then a cascade of images, like quick cuts in a montage.
The pivot to “money” is the tell. It punctures the earnest eco-spiritual vibe just enough to sound candid rather than sanctimonious. He’s acknowledging the obvious association without apologizing for it, which keeps the line from floating off into pure Hallmark. “Mother earth!” seals it with a slightly theatrical flourish - exclamation-point energy that fits a performer used to selling enthusiasm on command.
Contextually, this plays like a press-friendly personality snapshot: safe, upbeat, values-forward, lightly funny. The intent isn’t to be profound; it’s to be memorable while sounding like a decent guy with real attachments and no interest in irony.
