If a kid ever realized what was involved in factory farming, they would never touch meat again.

I'm an animal rights activist because I believe we won't have a planet if we continue to behave toward other species the way we do.

We don't need to eat anyone who would run, swim, or fly away if he could.

A vital film that needed to be made at this point in history and has been made magnificently.

The attitude we have towards our personal pets as opposed to the animals that suffer under the factory farm is hypocritical and delusional.

I was so moved by the intelligence,sense of fun and personalities of the animals I worked with on Babe that by the end of the film I was a vegetarian.

I started in theatre. I was at Cleveland and I went to London for the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's birth.

What is magnificent about humans is when they decide to turn and stand. If they respond with non-violence on principle and hold their ground, they are really magnificent.

I know what I want when I start a marathon: to win! But what do you want? Make sure you're clear in advance and don't go out too fast.

People still tell me I’m fat, but when I look in the mirror, that’s not what I see.

Darkness cannot be overcome with more darkness, only with light. Violence cannot be overcome with more violence, only with peace.

Women are socialized to be nice, to be docile. I call it 'shrink to fit': Shrink yourself to fit what others expect of you.

Violence would be a huge gift to those who want a divided Lebanon.
