Ed: (one of his philosophies) Live simply, that all may simply live.
(edit)
Ed: (on the change in the relationship between him and his wife Rachelle since the show "Living with Ed" began) Well, I hate Rachelle a little less than I used to because we are getting paid! No, seriously – we are both working very hard to make the show entertaining and it's brought us closer together than ever.
(edit)
Ed: I believe in the rights of all creatures. If we needed to kill to survive, we have and we would, as do many creatures in the wild.
(edit)
Ed: (on the health implications of being a vegetarian) I have never heard, and please tell me if you've heard about it, of a cardiologist doing bypass surgery, doing open heart surgery, doing angioplasty, or anything like that, and ever pulling out a piece of broccoli out of somebody's arteries.
(edit)
Ed: Recycling just seems like the right thing to do, I mean really, it makes us responsible for the messes that we make. It's all about just picking up after yourself, not shoving our trash in our oceans and streams. We might as well reuse it before we lose it.
