I've become an animal rights activist.

I'm an animal-rights person, actually. Big time.

To a certain extent, I think I've become an animal-rights person.

I'm such an advocate for animal rights and environmental rights.

I'm definitely an animal lover, and I stand up for all animals' rights.

I think I've kind of been mistaken for somebody who's trying to be a spokesperson for animal rights, and the fact is I'm not qualified to be a spokesperson. I am passionate about it, but I'm not trying to make other people do what I do.

I'm not an activist; I don't look for controversy. I'm not a political person, but I'm a person with compassion. I care passionately about equal rights. I care about human rights. I care about animal rights.

I've been active in animal rights and all kinds of environmental stuff and children's charities over the years.

I'm not into animal rights. I'm only into animal welfare and health. I've been with the Morris Animal Foundation since the '70s. We're a health organization. We fund campaign health studies for dogs, cats, lizards and wildlife. I've worked with the L.A. Zoo for about the same length of time. I get my animal fixes!

I'm an animal rights activist because I believe we won't have a planet if we continue to behave toward other species the way we do.
