“My dad actually was a wonderful person, and also happened to be a hunt...” — Maggie Baird Quote

My dad actually was a wonderful person, and also happened to be a hunter and fisherman. And my brothers and I never would eat meat our whole lives. We just wouldn't eat it. We would refuse it. Of course, in that day and age you kind of got forced to eat it. But the minute we all became teenagers, we foreswore it.

We were lucky enough to homeschool our kids - or we'd call it 'unschooled world school.'

I grew up in Colorado.

There's no controlling Billie - she's an authentic person. She's strong-willed and speaks her own mind, but she also listens to reason.

It's so easy to find a vegan recipe for literally anything you want to eat. It's also the most basic way and easiest way to eat.

My dad suggested I change and try to play in goal. I always liked being at the heart of the action, trying to experience different situations and different challenges. One year, I decided to try playing in goal - after that, I was going to go back to playing outfield.

I would always sneak in the refrigerator and eat seconds, and underneath my bed - you know, I had my own bedroom - it was littered with Twinkie wrappers and Jolly Rancher wrappers. And I would sneak-eat, because I was denied food, not because I was hungry, but because my mom and dad did the best they could in 1970 and '71 and '72.

People said, 'How could you walk away from music?' But being a dad - there's nothing that can touch that.

I have a brother and a dad as well, but I grew up in a house of women, you know?
