“It was a philosophical struggle for me to pose naked, but you do what you have to do to get your message out there. All forms of oppression are connected: mainstream-media sex, violence, social justice, environmental issues, animal exploitation. When you perpetuate one of them, you perpetuate all of them. But I believe you can live ethically and fabulously.”
“I’ve been vegan for 12 years. For the shoot, I went to the Union Square farmers’ market and bought a bunch of local, organic veggies, fruits and roots. The green movement is finally becoming sexy—and it’s because of food. Food is like sex: You interact with it physically, you put it in your body. I’d rather have an amazing meal than mediocre sex.”

Brendon, you may have me mixed up with someone else, I don't work at a record store (and while I do like The Sounds, I never owned their CD)!

I always wanted to see your tattoos but didn't want to be inappropriate and ask...nice art & very sexy. By the way, thanks for selling your The Sounds cd back to the store so I could buy it. If you hadn't been playing it in the store I never would have found out who they were and discovered a great new band. See you next time I'm in the store.

There is nothing more sexy than a healthy body and a compassionate heart. Go vegan!
