I am from Brooklyn, NY, so we could not have many pets, but I always had at least two dogs.

I made the decision a long time ago that I had an obligation to my children that I happily fulfilled.

I was a single mom that raised two bright, beautiful, and compassionate girls.

Pet me, touch me, love me, that's what I get when I perform. That's when I'm really getting what I want.

I have learned that you can communicate on a very deep level with any living form. Thats why my gardens bloom and my animals are so healthy-because I communicate with them.

Id like to be a lion... they are very family-oriented. Unfortunately. too many wild animals are afraid at what man can do to them.

It's important for us to latch onto the people that we love.
