"Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Be thankful a chimp did not eat your face. Does anyone else think that’s why Oprah is retiring? That she was interviewing a woman with a chimp-eaten face, struggling to find that special Oprah balance of sensitive New-Age “compassion” and carnival-barker HOLY SHIT FOLKS LOOK AT THE FREAK, and suddenly thought WTF am I doing with my life? That’s my theory, but I am open to others"

"What do we say about someone who doesn’t want to learn about the effects of meat on the environment? If you saw somebody on the street beating the shit out of his dog, you’d call the cops! And if you had a friend who said, “Oh, let’s just keep walking,” you’d think less of that friend. What we do to animals is as bad as that. It’s systematized, and we do it to 50 billion of them every year. Yeah, I suppose we could say, “I don’t want to look at it,” just as we could walk past the guy who is beating the crap out of his dog, but it’s not who we want to be. We’re not going to be totally consistent. I see bad stuff on the street all the time that I don’t do anything about. I do bad stuff myself all the time. The goal is not to somehow be perfect—that’s silly, that’s naïve. The goal is to just recognize there are choices in front of us, and to try to make better ones."

"It’s also the season of the sashay — no one other than me moves with any degree of urgency. No matter what, they sashay. I don’t even have the adequate words to describe how mad and frustrated I would get: “We have to get down to the runway right now!” and they’d just kind of glide along through the workroom."
