clear commonly factory farm glass nobody people remain
It's commonly said that if slaughterhouses had clear glass walls, nobody would eat meat. I think people go out of their way to remain ignorant about how factory farm animals are treated.
wear
Abuse yourself all you want - just leave animals out of it. Don't wear fur.
anybody obviously people staying supportive
Anybody that's not supportive of me staying sober obviously has to go. But on the other hand, there are not really a lot of people who don't want me to stay sober. I was a nightmare.
I'm a proud vegan, whistle-blower, and animal rights activist.
acting anybody audition believe failed funny lines music nice together
At this point, I've really failed at a lot of things. It's nice to be able to say that, in a way. I've failed at music. I've failed at dance. And acting - there have been times when I went out and read lines to audition for acting parts. I believe that if anybody wrangled together those audition tapes, it would be pretty hysterically funny.
lecturing people personally telling terribly vegan
I don't go around lecturing people and telling them they shouldn't eat meat. I just don't think that's terribly effective. I just try to tell people how I have personally benefitted from the vegan lifestyle.
attention deal span youtube
I'm the perfect kind of personality for making YouTube videos. I deal in short attention span theater. I do wild things.
blaze fading finding guess hard imagined life obscurity peace somehow sort worked
I guess I just always imagined that I was going to die, like, somehow on top. I was going to, like, go out in some sort of blaze of glory. I never thought about sort of fading into obscurity. And I've worked so hard at having a life, an identity, in obscurity and finding peace with that.
dawned great kept skateboard
I started out making skateboard videos. Soon, it dawned on me I just wasn't that great at skateboarding. So I put down the skateboard and just kept going with the camera.
viewed
The idea is to improve somebody's day. That's how I've always viewed my job. I'm a distraction therapist. I make people's problems go away for just a little bit.
people
I think people will be surprised to find that I'm not as much of an idiot as they think I am. I'm not a real moron.
actions discover good intend louder people rather speak wait whatever
Rather than wait to be discovered, discover yourself. Whatever it is that you intend to do later, start doing it now, get good at it, and show people what you've done. Actions speak louder than words.
believe factory farms found happens literally modern throw
I have a tough stomach, and I've put myself through a lot. But when I first found out what happens to animals on modern factory farms and in today's slaughterhouses, I wanted to throw up - I literally couldn't believe it.
absolutely career caucasian definitely dirty gets intended line parallels problem quest rap somehow
There's definitely some parallels between me and Joaquin Phoenix, I think. The line gets so blurry. My rap career wasn't a hoax, but it was absolutely intended to be a joke. The problem was that I really was on a quest to somehow be a Caucasian Ol' Dirty Bastard.
