I'd hesitated to have a wedding because my gay and lesbian friends don't have that right.

First and foremost, I'm a feminist. And basically that stems from a strong belief that all people and creatures deserve equal opportunity, rights and respect.

It's a sad day when a cartoon is doing more and cares more and pays more attention to the environment than our president.

I believe that we all have the potential to love any human being, and that genetics, upbringing, choice, social conditioning and environment play a major part in which way we sway.

I've learned that a family can have little glitches without being labeled dysfunctional.

I recently lost 50 pounds. I'm hovering on the cusp of a size eight, which seems unbelievable.

There was a time when I was 312 pounds. And I've been all different weights.

I just say that at any weight you should love your life.

I believe that we all have the potential to love any human being, and that just love who you wish and celebrate it the best you can.

While voicing animations I use the same acting muscles, even more because you have to channel all into your voice, whereas when you're live-action you get props and scenery and other actors and your facial expressions and what happens to help you. It's not necessarily easier as an actor to do voice-overs, it's easier as a person.
