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

I've had a love of animals from birth. I love getting to know other species. We should all be aware that there is not one thing we can give a wild animal in captivity that they need.

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.

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

I use every single thing that Alfred Hitchcock taught me in my acting career I am very grateful for the education he gave me in making motion pictures.

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

I'm regarded as the patron saint of manicurists.
