I've been an animal rights activist and a vegan for 28 years. The entire time, I've asked myself: How do I best advance an animal rights agenda?

The good thing about working alone is I get a lot done and I can experiment more. The bad thing is I miss out on the gregarious, social way that most musicians work.

One simple word: ugh. Is something still considered a conspiracy if it's played out right under our noses?

My reason for becoming a vegetarian was simple: I loved (and love) animals

I'm envious of people who can sleep as long as they want. I have the circadian rhythm of a farmer.

The good thing about not being drop-dead gorgeous is that as time passes, I don't have much to worry about. I have friends who are actors and every day they look in the mirror with trepidation.

Could you look an animal in the eyes and say to it, 'My appetite is more important than your suffering'?

I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I'll go to it laughing.

Ignorance is the parent of fear.

Dogs have boundless enthusiasm but no sense of shame. I should have a dog as a life coach.

I like noise. It's always puzzled me why one of the goals of contemporary recording is to get rid of noise and to eliminate any element of a performance.

She asked me the definition of beauty. So I told her name in my reply!

I hate studying and I hate partying. But I'm okay with motocross. And muscles.Motocross and Muscles. Now that should be a Lifetime movie.

The moment you start building or doing stuff beyond your knowledge, soon you will end up by demanding time.

Youth is a blossom whose fruit is love; happy is he who plucks it after watching it slowly ripen.

Be good, sweet maid, and don't forget that this involves being as clever as you can.

I still need more healthy rest in order to work at my best. My health is the main capital I have and I want to administer it intelligently.

You think you know everything about a person, but the truth often comes as a surprise.

I told my cellmates about the oppression of the whites and apartheid. I helped organize hunger strikes and the like in my prison.

Those who place their affections at first on trifles for amusement, will find these trifles become at last their most serious concerns.

I guess my husband is a muse as well.
