The world is filled with negativity. I want people to watch me and think, “I feel good, and I’m going to make somebody else feel good today.

I personally chose to go vegan because I educated myself on factory farming and cruelty to animals, and I suddenly realized that what was on my plate were living things, with feelings. And I just couldn't disconnect myself from it any longer. I read books like 'Diet for a New America' and saw documentaries like 'Earthlings' and 'Meet your Meat,' and it became an easy choice for me.

You say you're sick and tired of hearing about me? I've got news for you: I'M sick and tired of hearing about me.

The first person I learned I could make happy with laughter was my mother, whom I idolize. It was a powerful thing to realize. I knew I had found my life's work.

When I look back on the stuff I used to wear, I wonder why somebody didn't try to stop me. Just a friendly warning, "You may regret this," would have been fine.

I don't really ever live my life in fear. I really live my life in gratitude and feeling positive for the most part.

It always helps to think about other people instead of ourselves.
