If you look through all the different cultures. Right from the earliest, earliest days with the animistic religions, we have sought to have some kind of explanation for our life, for our being, that is outside of our humanity.

I would never say I was an icon, but so many people have said I am, so I suppose I am. I mean, I can't not be what everyone says I am. But I don't feel like an icon.

I always loved animals. And when I was ten, I decided I had to go to Africa and live with animals and write books about them.

Here we are, the most clever species ever to have lived. So how is it we can destroy the only planet we have?

If we allow the destruction of the environment, we can see the terrorists have utterly won, and are destroying the future of our children and grandchildren. We must not let that happen.

I believe sharing stories and experiences is the best way to teach people to empathize!

Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.
