I knew that I wanted to be a film actress and I never watched TV. I was always too busy.

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.

Being vegan just gives you such great karma.

My boyfriend calls me 'princess', but I think of myself more along the lines of 'monkey' and 'retard'.

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

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] 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.
