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 did it for political, moral reasons, thinking that I was making this great sacrifice, but it was absolutely necessary; I was not going to contribute to the violence in the world anymore.

I swear it's so easy. You don't have to have a diet mentality at all if you eat healthily, plant-based food.

I think people want love in their lives.

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

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

I love, love, love apricot baby food. My closet in the kitchen is filled with jars of it. I love Lucky Charms and Cocoa Pebbles cereal. I love my purple couch, and I love dancing. I used to have the best stuffed animals, but Samson [her dog] ate them.
