"How boring would it be if we were all exactly the same? We talked the same, looked the same, had the same taste in everything. Clothing stores would have all the same clothes. Radio stations would play all the same music. I don't know about you, but that is so boring. I think it's great that we're all different. It's the differences that make us interesting. So whether you're gay, straight, or in between, that's cool. Just be you, cuz that's good enough for me."

"I went vegetarian at about 5 years old when I visited a Dude Ranch with my family and saw a rodeo. It was traumatizing and I made a conscious decision at that age to never eat animals again. When I started middle school, I read a book that exposed a lot of the truth about the food industry and encouraged a healthful lifestyle through a guide to living vegan. It was a mostly simple transition that made me feel so much better about myself, inside and out. … For as long I can remember, acting and animal activism have made me feel alive and purposeful … I would love to see more organizations coming together. Sometimes it’s tricky to understand everyone’s opinions. We all have so many of the same intentions, it’d be awesome to see more support for one another amongst the community."
