Thanks so much, everybody, for making gay marriage legal, thank you for everything you've done-I'm just going to walk through that door

My decision not to eat animals anymore was paramount to my growth as a spiritual person. It made me aware of greed and made me more sensitive to cruelty. It made me feel like I was contributing to making the world better and that I was connected to everything around me. I felt like I was part of the whole by respecting every living thing rather than using it and destroying it by living unconsciously. Healing comes from love. And loving every living thing in turn helps you love yourself.

The diet industry is making a lot of money selling us fad diets, nonfat foods full of chemicals, gym memberships, and pills while we lose a piece of our self-esteem every time we fail another diet or neglect to use the gym membership we could barely afford.

I try to be feminine, yet intellectual and smart at the same time. You don't see enough of that.

You don't have to be emaciated or vomiting to be suffering. All people who live their lives on a diet are suffering.

Even if I'm hormonal and I feel like I've got a couple pounds of water weight, I will never starve myself, I will never, ever go on a diet.

We must be able to inspire. That's my goal in acting.
