Persia White quotes
Getting involved in Earthlings was pretty intense because there were still a lot of things I didn't know. To raise compassion and awareness is so necessary. The documentary is not just about animals, it's about how we treat each other as well. How we have empathy for the weak and we don't abuse it. It exposes the truth. It is a very difficult film to get into mainstream because there are so many corporations that will hurt if their secrets revealed.

I've always been an animal-lover and when I was about twelve I became a vegetarian. My mom subscribed to PETA's magazine and I just started looking at the level of what it was. And I just thought it was unkind, so I made my personal choice - which at that point had nothing to do with the global scale of the situation. And so I know it was really early, but I made up my mind then to become an entertainer primarily because I thought I could help. I noticed that all my friends respected entertainers and knew more entertainers names than politicians names, so that was my turning point from possibly doing politics to entertainment ... So that was one of the reasons I went into this field. And then the more I kept going career-wise, the more I've been able to use that vehicle - that megaphone. And that was exciting - the only exciting part, personally, about being a celebrity. I don't think there's anything good about it, except the ability to make positive change.
