Because of 'The Birds' and 'Marnie' I was, as the expression goes, hot in Hollywood and producers and directors wanted to hire me.

Federal legislation is urgently needed to stop this insanity of wild animals in captivity.

My light shines when things get really tough.

If people could be as honest as animals, what a different world it would be.

You don't see sick animals in the wild. You don't see lame animals in the wild, and its all because of the predator: the lion, the tiger, the leopard, all the cats.

Marnie was ahead of its time. People didn't talk about childhood and its effects on adult life. It was taboo to discuss sexuality and psychology and to put all that into a film was shocking.

I kind of look at my modeling career and the Alfred Hitchcock years as stepping stones to what I'm doing now.
