I say getting a lecturing from Oprah is probably the most terrifying lecture you could possibly get.
— Jane Velez-Mitchell
I love 'Scandal.' It's my favorite show - it's really - the only one I really watch.
Bolivia recently did what every country should do - banned the use of animals in circuses.
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.
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.
We have got to stop being a society that turns our heads and looks the other way.
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.
Something is sick with our society that we have to deal with.
Child Protective Services, all over the country, need to be revamped top to bottom.
Family issues and a failing career would be enough to consume most young actresses.
There's no better feeling in the world than knowing that my show played a role in stopping animal abuse or alleviating animal suffering.
I would love to speak with First Lady Michelle Obama about the addictive component of obesity.
I say, do not mess with Oprah. The one person in America you shouldn't mess with.
Denial is a very powerful thing.
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.
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.
Jodi Arias had a deadly obsession with Travis Alexander.
If you say no to cruel factory farm practices, only then will the government say yes to change.
How is justice served if the victim and the accused are working together to make it all go away? Somebody please explain that to me.
I do believe that Jodi Arias shows a lot of signs of mental illness.
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?
The worst environmental decision you can make as a human being is to have 14 kids.
I love working with PETA.
Honestly is always an option, even when you don't think it is.
There's no constitutional right for your parents to pay for college.
The government sends low-flying helicopters to chase the horses into corrals and then takes them from the plains of the American West to federal holding pens. The government claims it's to save the horses from starvation. Critics claim the real motive is to clear the land for cattle grazing. Critics also say the horses are brutally traumatized.
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?
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.
There are definitions of morbid obesity. Doctors define it.
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.
Now, Spitzer was an anti-crime crusader cracking down on prostitution and Wall Street corruption. So some people were looking to take him down.
There's no excuse in a technological age where we've got drones - you know, overhead, and we can monitor anything, all sorts of minutia - that we can't track living flesh-and-blood children.
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.
In Hollywood, they say good news finds you.
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.
