You're a vegetarian, right?

I was.

You were. So you've changed?

I've changed. I don't eat meat as a rule; the amount of meat I eat is negligible. I never did growing up. But I have to admit, I am a sucker for very crisp bacon in a sandwich or on its own. I was a vegetarian from 1983 to 2001, when I quit drinking -- I'm sober now -- and smoking. I allowed myself bacon. I said, "You know what, if you're giving up alcohol and cigarettes, you are allowed to have bacon." The number of times I've had bacon since 2001 is about four, five maybe.

Is there anything else you'd like to add?

Don't believe the hype. There is no Hollywood blacklist. You will be rewarded if you speak out. It really does happen. At first my agent was like, Don't! Now he's like, Keep it up! For a 38-year-old woman to get a resurgence like this in the business, you don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Excerpted from the May 2003 issue of Satya, a monthly magazine focusing on vegetarianism, environmentalism, animal advocacy, and social justice, distributed free in New York City. Now in its seventh year, Satya (meaning "peace") is committed to continuing the legacy of Mohandas Gandhi by "increasing dialogue among activists from diverse backgrounds" and encouraging readers to integrate compassion into their daily lives.
