Keep fighting for animals by making compassionate, cruelty-free choices every day and encouraging those around you to do the same.

I wish there was something more that performers could do other than get out there and sing at benefit performances. I wish I felt that if I had an empty room I'd like to bring in someone and make it a hospice, but I'm not Mother Teresa. I can't do that.

PETA has a proven track record of success. Each victory PETA wins for the animals is a stepping stone upon which we build a more compassionate world for all beings - and we will never give up our fight until all animals are treated with respect and kindness.

All this time I've just wanted to be blonde, beautiful and 5 feet 2 inches tall.

I can't imagine working without and audience.

I... was not too happy to suddenly take on this public role thrust upon me. They just assumed I was the Joan of Arc of the women's movement. And I wasn't at all. It put a lot of unnecessary pressure on me.

I was raised in the theater and, as it turned out, a TV show was like performing a new one-act play. So, it was really no different.
