“Veganism is not about giving anything up or losing anything; it is about gaining the peace within yourself that comes from embracing nonviolence and refusing to participate in the exploitation of the vulnerable”

“Sitting and writing music on your own makes you think a lot about your life. Who are you? Would you change anything about yourself? This is where it comes from. It is like having a mirror held up in front of you, looking into yourself and asking these questions.”

“The essence of warriorship, or the essence of human bravery, is refusing to give up on anyone or anything.”

“The word vegan should not just be used when referring to people who choose not to eat animal products because being vegan includes doing our best to abstain from participating in the other ways animals are exploited, including animal testing, wearing them, etc. Clearly there is a lot of buzz about the word vegan these days, which is great, but I think it is imperative that we keep the dialogue about this word focused on what it truly means. Veganism is simply about one's ethics and not contributing to the suffering of others.”

“We don’t exploit other groups, we don’t gain anything from their presence. They need us, and not the other way around.”

“If you are not vegan, please consider going vegan. It’s a matter of nonviolence. Being vegan is your statement that you reject violence to other sentient beings, to yourself, and to the environment, on which all sentient beings depend.”

“The fact of the matter is, you don't give up what's natural. Anything I've fantasized about, I've done.”

“I'm so afraid of losing something I love, that I refuse to love anything.”

“Play is the answer to how anything new comes about.”

“It isn't about "games", for me, personally, and it never really was. It was about creating something- anything- far bigger than yourself.”
