My favorite animals are dogs.

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

The best relationship you can have with a chimpanzee is total mutual trust.

Every stage of my life set the scene for the next, and at each point all I had to do was say "yes" and not think too much about the consequences.

The most important thing is to actually think about what you do. To become aware and actually think about the effect of what you do on the environment and on society. That's key, and that underlies everything else.

Chimpanzees can be quite political.

There are many animal-welfare groups that sometimes seem to forget that human beings are animals too, that we need to include them in our sphere of compassion.
