I've always thought it would be fun to have a vegan campaign aimed at gays called "Don't be a Dairy Queen."

Most people are sensitized to animals through their cats and dogs, but for me it was a flounder. I used to go fishing with my dad as a kid and always felt bad about yanking these panic-stricken creatures from the water. I stopped eating fish as an adolescent and went vegan at twenty.

Most people, especially activists, recognize their differences with others rather than what they have in common and that leads to frustration more than persuasion.

I've never dated anyone because they were vegetarian, just like I'm gay but don't only go to gay bars. I hang out with people because they are fun, smart, and kind, and if they happen to be veg I'm thrilled.

On leather jackets: That's the next step. You have to take one step at a time. It was easier to start with fur.

I'd like to be remembered by two simple words: any two words, as long as they're simple.
