We have language and they do not. Chimps communicate by embracing, patting, looking - all these things. And they have lots of sounds. But they cannot sit and discuss. They cannot teach about things that are not present, as far as we know.

Just remember--if you are really and truly determined to work with animals, somehow, either now or later, you will find a way to do it. But you have to want it desperately, work hard, take advantage of an opportunity--and never give up.

Animals are as deserving of a place on this planet as we are, and the difference between us is that humans have a voice they can use to help the animal cause, and it is up to all of us to use it to make a positive difference!

I have found that to love and be loved is the most empowering and exhilarating of all human emotions.

If we kill off the wild, then we are killing a part of our souls.

I believe the only hope for mankind lies in the hands of our young people.

I have never had an animal that didn't have a personality, one differing from another.
