I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants.

As for meat, I'm not going to become vegetarian. I'm telling you that right now. I want me a steak. I want me a pork chop. I want me a lamb chop, even a piece of duck every once in awhile. We used to have ham and salami, all that crazy stuff. I can't eat processed food. I've got to find local farmers and get natural foods.

I'm not strictly vegetarian, but meat doesn't play a big part in my diet.

I did not become a vegetarian for my health, I did it for the health of the chickens.

I have made my own choice, which is vegetarianism, but it's not the choice I'm imposing on anybody else.

Eating vegetarian in the past would have been a really bad choice as an athlete. Impossible. Just being able to get the amount of protein in was a mission. You couldn't be picky. I feel quite liberated by the fact that I can now quite recklessly choose vegetarian food.

I eat more vegetables than the average vegetarian.

By the way, I'm not a vegetarian. I have a lot of respect for people who are vegetarian for religious or ethical reasons.
