mother cancer reading
I have been a vegetarian for about 10 years. And it really was due to the reading that I did. And they explain so that you understand why it's important for the planet's survival along with compassion for animals. It certainly made it much easier for me. I lost weight really fast. My mother died from cancer so this is all very personal to me. And I just would like the planet to be a better place. And I think you'll find a vegetarian diet to be really incredible these days
thanksgiving turkeys bird
Turkeys are misunderstood. Once I adopted turkeys, I understood this large bird to be a great companion.
kids violence care
Kids shouldn't see all the violence they do these days. But the industry just doesn't care.
fun character thinking
I've had people appear in my life that have helped me. I had more fun. I approached it thinking how would Jack Nicholson, "How would he do it?" So that's really what I did was I created this Gremlin character. So now people come up and they say 'Oh The Exorcist!'.. and I'm like "Did you see Repossessed?" They say either no or yes or whatever, and I say look at this, have a laugh, and then go back and look at a masterpiece .
animal tests treats
The animals are right here, right in front of us. And how we treat these companions is a test.
seems
I've lived through what seems to most - and myself - many lives.
thinking genius directors
Of all the projects I've worked on, I've never worked with another director like Billy Friedkin. I think he's a genius.
children teenager kids
I did a series for teenagers and kids called S-Club 7 in LA for Fox Family Channel. And I did it because the children, everybody's children, they don't know who I am. They know I'm the-lady-in-the-movie-they-can't-see. And I was actually offended by that because I think I've done a lot of wonderful work.
animal suffering
No animal has to suffer for me to live.
people september-11 golden-retrievers
There was a golden retriever who saved countless lives on September 11 by going back in to find people. His companion was in a wheelchair. He got him out and kept going back in to save others.
religious dog animal
People always joke that 'dog' spells 'god' backwards. They should consider that it might be the higher power coming down to see just how well they do, what kind of people they are. The animals are right here, right in front of us. And how we treat these companions is a test.
