“I think we learn some of the greatest lessons in life from animals, whether it’s love, suffering, or the value of silence.”

I think we are all overcoming tiny obstacles every second of every day even if that means just a small shift in perspective.

Animals don’t have a voice, so I think it is our job to give them one.

I enjoy feeling physically strong, so maybe I’d like to be able to lift a building and launch it at someone.

What we do to animals, we do to ourselves.

I have nobody. I have surrounded myself with people who are fake just because I need to talk to somebody.

I think it’s time we take a step back and recognize that while we are hurting our animals, we are hurting each other, and we are hurting our planet.

We have such an amazing future ahead of us.

The frenzy of the little-girl culture is something very unique, and I can only say that because I was one. The obsession – I can’t really explain it. Everything is heightened to the maximum.

Reusing and recycling our materials is the most important thing we can do.

I think the greatest lesson I have just recently learned is how powerful the mind is, informing our decision making unknowingly.

Jackson [Rathbone] is the most artsy, creative and, I think, the most talented.

I don’t want any special powers. I’m powerless. I wouldn’t want to see into the future, I wouldn’t want to know what anyone was thinking, ever! And I don’t want to relive my past.

At the end of the day, that’s our sole purpose and our sole reason for existing, is to love somebody else.

Once I realized that the only thing I can actually control in this life is my own mind, how I choose to react, feel, and perceive, I felt immediately liberated.

I think the best way to invite people into the conversation is to just create something beautiful out of love, and people naturally gravitate towards a new way of looking at fashion.

What we do to animals directly impacts everything, because we are all connected. It disrupts the food chain, it funds terrorism (ivory), it changes our climate, our oceans, it starts wars.

Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.

It was very much about performances, the whole ensemble thing was just great – everybody working together. Sometimes it didn’t feel like a film set. It wasn’t technically driven, it was very, very enjoyable.

I still believe that music is one of the greatest gifts that God gave to man.

Everything great I’ve done I did not think to do so.

That the greatest security of the people, against the encroachments and usurpations of their superiors, is to keep the Spirit of Liberty constantly awake, is an undeniable truth.

Style is a display of character. It’s also a great way to express yourself and the ladies like it.

Being around people like Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick and Roberta Flack, all these greats, I was taught to listen and observe.

She’s my teacher, my adviser, my greatest inspiration.
