I have little space from the suffering of elephants right now. I wake up with it and go to sleep with it. The plight of animals in shelters, of kids used for labor for the metals in our electronics and endless other things, the fate of our water supply to dye our blue jeans and water our lawns, the sad painful life of conventionally raised meat...For me, I am working to not contribute to this. I really don't want to hurt others for my benefit.

I can watch endless humans get killed, but if I see a movie and they kill a dog, I practically want to walk out.

One lesson I got from Gandhi, 'Be the change you want to see,' haunts me. I just feel like I can't keep stomping around pointing the finger at BP when I am supporting the oil industry with my very own dollars and actions by buying their products, helping to pay their mortgage - plastic is from oil... polyester, shower curtains.

I've been married for four years, and I'm still finding out things about my husband.

That evidence of the spirit of life is what makes me get out of bed in the morning.

As an actor, I look at first what I can borrow from what I really feel.

I really don't want to hurt others for my benefit.
