Redemption isn't giving a bank robber a job as a teller.

I dream of a post-racial society that is not categorized by the color of their skin.

We have secrets, and we have the same secrets that criminals have. Sometimes the only difference between a criminal and a law-abiding citizen is that somebody found out the criminal's secret.

I've studied pathological liars, and anything they say, they believe, and that's one of the reasons they're so convincing, because they have no connection with the truth. It's a dead issue. It's like they're color-blind to the truth. So anything that comes out of their mouths is their reality.

Fame is often called a deal with the devil. Reality show fame is a really bad deal with the devil.

Denial is a very powerful thing.

Locking minors away for decades doesn't solve anything.

I actually get quite sad when I smell bacon.

If you know something is morally reprehensible, then it is your moral obligation to stop it as soon as possible.

We have allowed ourselves to be defined by our consumption instead of by our ability to move beyond it.

Shopping in the right kind of stores and looking for healthier foods can be a wonderful adventure to health.

There are definitions of morbid obesity. Doctors define it.

Travis Alexander was a good guy. Was he a saint? No. But he was somebody who was really, really invested in helping other people and making this world a better place. Everything he did, even the car he drove, was a sign of him trying to be a force for good in this world.

Capture of a wild animal is invariably traumatic.

We cannot consume our way into personal growth. Yet, millions of us have bought into this cynical concept of faux identity.

Cholesterol does not exist in vegetables. Vegetables do not clog arteries.

Wouldn't it help Americans more, in the long run, if we were forced to accept some responsibility for the environmental wreckage we prefer to assume is totally out of our control?

Someone once told me that being in the closet is like living in a vertical casket. Perfect description.

Honestly is always an option, even when you don't think it is.

I would love to speak with First Lady Michelle Obama about the addictive component of obesity.

I love working with PETA.

Family issues and a failing career would be enough to consume most young actresses.

In 2007, Lindsay Lohan seemed to be on top of the world, a bona fide star who had her pick of acting gigs. But it wasn't long before the veneer cracked, and Lindsay's life began to shatter.

She gets away with it. Everybody co-signs her bad behavior. It's like we all are co-dependent on Lindsay Lohan. When are we going to stand up to her?

Child Protective Services, all over the country, need to be revamped top to bottom.

Something is sick with our society that we have to deal with.

What does animal welfare have to do with food safety? The animals are the food! They are living in their own excrement, developing horrific sores, stressed out, and, therefore, more vulnerable to illness and disease.

Agribusiness - with its wicked powerful lobby and its infiltration of top bureaucratic posts - essentially runs roughshod over the government agencies that are supposed to monitor it. It's the rich fox guarding the filthy, overcrowded henhouse.

If you say no to cruel factory farm practices, only then will the government say yes to change.

We have got to stop being a society that turns our heads and looks the other way.

Jodi Arias had a deadly obsession with Travis Alexander.

I think everybody who commits a violent killing is in some way crazy. But that doesn't mean we can let them off the hook for that.

It was gross enough for fast food restaurants to ban, but apparently our government wants so-called pink slime to be a staple in your kids' lunches.

USDA says pink slime, which is made of cow connective tissue and other scraps and then treated with ammonia to kill the salmonella, e Coli, potentially, the U.S. Government says it's totally safe.

Why are kids being inundated with food that is not good for them, when we're suffering from an obesity crisis? Is the U.S. government talking out of both sides of its mouth, promoting bad food while telling us not to eat it?
