If so many people love me, how come I'm alone?

Killing an animal to make a coat is sin. It wasn't meant to be, and we have no right to do it.

I always felt that making a living wasn't the easiest thing in the world, and I decided I was going straight ahead and try to be as uncomplicated as possible. The important thing in life is just living and loving.

I think everything in my life has led to my animal welfare work.

I like to sing love songs.

I'm not going to go around with a long face - that's a waste of time

I had been involved in animal welfare groups, but DDAL presented an opportunity to actually create and pass legislation aimed at issues which really matter to so many people. From local spaying and neutering ordinances, to legislation against puppy mills, to standards to prevent animals from being tested for the sake of a new cosmetic, we could - and did - make a difference.
