All the things I've loved the most in life were my biggest risks.

I think lightness has to come from a very deep place if it's true lightness.

We always had dogs,so I understood all the joy and the love animals are capable of giving. It's crazy to me that some people have dogs in thier homes, but they treat them more like furniture.

I don't feel like a dream girl, but I think it's really nice. I guess a part of me wishes I got that sort of attention in my real life. Because in my real life, I'm this weird, dorky girl who just hangs out with her dog.

I didn't want to get married - I thought it was like a cult! It seemed so conservative and unnatural.

[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.

As human beings we're so cynical, so uncompassionate.
