Sometimes we get so busy pursuing our dream that we forget to notice the degree to which we're living it already.

I have to strive to go two steps forward and realize that, sometimes, there will be one step back.

The strongest animals on earth are plant eaters. Every creature we've enlisted to do the work we couldn't handle - the horse, donkey, elephant, camel, water buffalo, ox, yak - is an herbivore... whose huge muscles were built from plant protein, and whose strong bones got that way, and stayed that way, from grazing on grass and eating other vegetables.

If you celebrate your differentness, the world will, too. It believes exactly what you tell it-through the words you use to describe yourself, the actions you take to care for yourself, and the choices you make to express yourself. Tell the world you are one-of-a-kind creation who came here to experience wonder and spread joy. Expect to be accommodated.

Being vegan is a glorious adventure. It touches every aspect of my life - my relationships, how I relate to the world.

On the issue of abortion, I'm ever on the fence, or, at most, an inch or two to either side.

My calling, as one imperfect human, is to celebrate and uphold life every time I get the chance.
