[I] educate people to be kinder to each other, and to other life-forms. There has been racism, sexism and now there is 'species-ism.' People think that they are better than other creatures.

My life has become about trying to find effective ways to be as responsible with the choices I make - in food, clothing and everything else. I don't want to be responsible for the harm of any creature, person or animal.

It's so simple to create a delicious holiday meal without animal cruelty. I promise no one will miss the turkey!

I can't think of anything better in the world to be but a vegan.

The risk is only in the outcome. You're going on a journey. You're going somewhere to play. And at that time, it felt right to spend that 11 or 12 days exploring this kind of role because it was so different and so challenging for me. It was really exciting to be able to show people, "Look, this is very different. Isn't it interesting?"

...you can make little choices that can change the world to be a better, happier, lovelier place every day

Being vegan helped me realize I can say and do what I believe is right. That's powerful.
