[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.

I've gained so much confidence as a woman from figuring out that I don't want to be destructive. I don't want to stomp through the world and be number one. I just want to tread really lightly and not destroy anything. Hopefully, I can try to mend some things. That's my goal.

What I learned from doing The Graduate was it doesnt matter what the medium is... as long as the material is inspiring and the characters are well written.

My biggest dream in the world is for everyone to become vegetarian, so there won't be any more suffering.

One of the things I love best about [my] 'Kind Diet' is that you will actually become part of the solution to our global problems.

When I was 8 years old, my brother was making the noises of the animals I was eating, so I decided to go vegetarian. Then I would give up because I was 8.

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