I've been a vegetarian for 14 years now, and a lot of the time I avoid going to restaurants. I eat at home. … I've never had any desire to eat meat. In fact, when I was a kid I would have a really difficult time eating meat at all. It had to be the perfect bite, with no fat or gristle or bone or anything like that…. I don't judge people who eat meat—that's not for me to say—but the whole thing just sort of bums me out.
