We owe them [animals] a decent life and a decent death, and their lives should be as low-stress as possible. That's my job. I wish animals could have more than just a low-stress life and a quick, painless death. I wish animals could have a good life, too, with something useful to do. People were animals, too, once, and when we turned into human beings we gave something up. Being close to animals brings some of it back.

I feel very strongly that we need to give beef cattle a really good life. When they go to slaughter, it needs to be painless.

Us visual thinkers like me, be good at things like industrial design, graphics, art, those kind of jobs.

What do I do when I go home? Work. That's basically my social life. I'm married to work.

When I was younger I was looking for this magic meaning of life. It's very simple now. Making the lives of others better, doing something of lasting value. That's the meaning of life, it's that simple.
