When the Exxon Valdez spilled in 1989, I was angry. I even wrote on the back of my car, Boycott Exxon!

I don’t wear leather, wool, or silk.

I’m not particularly impressed with going 50 miles per gallon. That doesn’t impress me when we can go to the moon.

Women have this obsession with shoes.

Electric cars aren’t pollution-free; they have to get their energy from somewhere.

I really haven’t been cognitive of gas prices. It wasn’t until I filled up my husband’s Toyota Prius Hybrid that I had a moment of understanding of how people who drive gas cars feel.

I’m trying to practice owning less stuff.

If the whole world went vegan, there would be less war. How you eat determines your mood and your outlook on life.

The big companies and their short-term bottom line rule this country.

Meat is an inefficient way to eat. An acre of land can yield 20,000 pounds of potatoes, but that same acre would only graze enough cows to get 165 pounds of meat.

I don’t think I miss anything by not watching television.

Power, as in the power structure, is why we are still using gas in cars.

The human overpopulation issue is the topic I see as the most vital to solve if our children and grandchildren are to have a good quality of life.

For me, going vegan was an ethical and environmental decision. I’m doing the right thing by the animals.

Unless everyone grasps the importance of having only two children per couple, wars won’t be over just oil anymore, they will be over water and food.

I really believe in non-violence, but I also believe in a short of resistance that has to be respectful.

I had never been able to get a car that said how much I cared about the environment until I drove electric.

I loved doing Baywatch. It was so much fun!

I don’t always buy organic food. It is more expensive.

There is a reason it is called fossil fuel-it is an outdated method of getting power.

I’m very much a lead by example person.

The only way people are going to change their car buying habits, and the only way government will get behind alternatively fueled vehicles, is if gasoline prices continue to go up.

I know I’m an actor, but I’m not at all a believer in people watching a lot of TV. I’ve never had television in my home.

I’ve always preferred food be on the blander side.

The cars we drive say a lot about us.

I’m very out of style… or I should say I have my own style.
