I've been a vegetarian for 14 years now, and a lot of the time I avoid going to restaurants. I eat at home. ... I've never had any desire to eat meat. In fact, when I was a kid I would have a really difficult time eating meat at all. It had to be the perfect bite, with no fat or gristle or bone or anything like that.... I don't judge people who eat meat-that's not for me to say-but the whole thing just sort of bums me out.

In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again.

I cannot recall the last time someting like that happened in politics or religion.

You will have a lot more energy, you can lose weight, and best of all you will know that you are creating a better world for all the animals that live here.

Thirty-two years ago, I became a vegetarian. I always thought it was a bit weird eating dead bodies even though my parents said it was all right. But I saw "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre," and that did it. In the movie, they're doing the same thing to people that they do to animals, and so I gradually got off eating meat.... The health thing came way later. Veganism came four years ago, and it was more of a health decision.

I became a vegetarian 3 years ago. ... The best thing about being a vegetarian for me, number one is I know I'm not harming any animals. ... The number two thing is increased strength. I'm a lot stronger than I was when I was eating meat. ... Most of your most powerful animals in the wild are vegetarian, so I'm trying to get my strength to that level. I don't know if I'll make it or not, but elephants are vegetarians. They're pretty big, so...
