I was studying my 'Bold and Beautiful' script the other day, lying in a hammock, when one of my Siberian tigers walked up and grabbed it out of my hand - she wanted to play. See - teeth marks!

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.

There were so many people who wanted me for their films.

I can look at myself in the mirror, and I can be proud.

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

So I do have to work, you know, and I find as many movies and TV shows that I can, because otherwise I wouldn't have an income.

In fact, I think I have had a ghost in my house. Although not active lately, unexplainable things would happen and the kitties were particularly sensitive - especially, Marlon Brando... the cat not the man.
