It's an incredibly difficult thing to bring a giraffe down. They can kill a lion with a single blow from their feet.

Sure, good things can go badly wrong. Nevertheless, there's always another day.

I prefer not to eat food that has a face.

They [granddaughters] went to Disneyland and Alice proudly told Snow White: 'My grandmother is a famous atlas!' So that's nice - they're happy that I'm an atlas!

Film work is hard work. It's long days, and quite often quite dismaying locations you have to be in.

I am now an old lioness, if I see my young ones getting out of order, I've got to be able to say to them this is not how lions behave. This is not right.
