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.

I'm very uncomfortable with my body, and I'm not interested in people seeing it on screen.

I think any time anybody says something nasty about you, it's hard to deal with it.

I don't just want to be the girl boys get excited about, I have no desire for people to see me in a sexy way. I won't do nudity ever.

When I was 18 years old I went to Shakespeare Company, the school, and I wrote a poem about my leaves - I felt like a tree that had no leaves. That is the life at 18.

You see how picky I am about my shoes and they only go on my feet.

I know what it feels like to be hurt,and I don't want to cause that pain to any other person or creature. But somehow, in society, we numb ourselves in order to make money or to feel better about ourselves, such as with cosmetics or food. We say to ourselves, I'm going to use this animal. I'm going to say it doesn't have much worth so that I can allow myself to do these cruel things. And that just isn't fair.
