I think animals help us live; they've helped me live. It was only when I began to devote myself to protecting animals that I blossomed completely. Taking care of them, looking out for them, has given my life true meaning, a meaning I hope future generations can experience.

It's the decomposition that gets me. You spend your whole life looking after your body. And then you rot away.

No more hard work than look beautiful with eight in the morning until midnight.

I am 30, but there are things about me that are still 15.

What does it mean, being a woman?

Solitude scares me. It makes me think about love, death, and war. I need distraction from anxious, black thoughts.
