I have been a vegetarian for forty-two years. I did it because I didn't want animals to die so I could eat. Then, eight to ten years ago, when I found out the life of a dairy cow is way worse than the life of a beef cow, I understood I had to switch to complete veganism. Otherwise, I would be very inconsistent in my beliefs that animals shouldn't be abused for food.

In the pressure cooker of a TV show, it’s a little bit of a witches’ brew. I completely think I’m capable of being crazy. I probably was crazy when I was doing 'The Simpsons'.

Veganism is an answer for almost every problem facing the world in terms of hunger and climate change.

With 'The Simpsons,' people didn't know what they were gonna see. They didn't have a clue.

I want to do whatever I can to survive.

I was very concerned about helping animals improve their situations. But that was out of love. It wasn't political or out of a belief that animals had rights.

Everyone in my family is taken care of. And I enjoy this.
