I would like, before I die, to see the changes I've always fought for being made. If not, my life will have been worth nothing.

My wild and free side unsettled some, and unwedged others.

I don't think I was a good comedian.

We have abolished the death penalty for humans, so why should it continue for animals?

My soul is not my own any more. I cannot live like I want to. I am going to give up films.

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.

I have understood that the most important things are tenderness and kindness. I can't do without them.
