It does take a little work to be a vegetarian but it's so worth it, oh it's so worth it!

I really need to work. People think that I'm no longer interested in acting and only interested in work-ing with the animals. Obviously I have given that impression, but it is not how I feel. I think I'm a good actor. I think I look OK. I don't understand why I'm not working all the time.

To be the object of somebody's obsession is a really awful feeling when you can't return it.

Everything that I've done in my life was to lead me to my work with the animals.

Being the object of Alfred Hitchcock's obsession was horrific, but while he ruined my career, he could never ruin my life.

I have a strong Lutheran background, and my parents instilled in me strong morals.

One lion thinks it's just hilarious to tackle us. He's very funny about it... and we always know when it will happen.
