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

I don't want to be known as the Aerosmith chick, but it's fun to put on the boots and makeup and act like a tough girl.

I love cooking and one of my favourite things to do with my husband is open up the refrigerator.

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

I was a foodie and I continue to be a foodie.

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.

I came from a generation of actors for whom TV was taboo.
