I had to have help getting up these stairs because I've been tackled by so many lions and tigers. Really. I'm like an old football player.

Hitchcock had a charm about him. He was very funny at times. He was incredibly brilliant in his field of suspense.

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.

Birds I am fine with - spiders are an entirely different matter.

In most states, it's more difficult to get a license for your dog than it is to buy a big cat. Right now, there are more tigers in the state of Texas than in all of India.

I really like birds. Everyone always wants me to say that I can't stand to go near them, just like they want Janet Leigh to confess that she can't bear to take a shower. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you.
