I've been out all over the world tranquilizing animals.

The snow leopard is absolutely magnificent. It represents really what endangered species are all about.

Zoo animals are ambassadors for their cousins in the wild.

Alligators and crocodiles are some of the most aggressive creatures on the planet - they'll take down a boat if you come up to their nest.

The world is the true classroom. The most rewarding and important type of learning is through experience, seeing something with our own eyes.

I don't necessarily agree that all animals are unpredictable. The more you know about an animal, the more you can work with it safely.

Wild animals are just as confused as people are now. You've got toxins in the water, oil, sewage, all sorts of things.

If I find myself afraid or scared, that means I'm doing the wrong thing.

You know, having raised animals all my life for 50-something years, I would say that you know, I'm fascinated by cats.

The groundhogs are pretty good at eluding. If somebody is trying to come after a ground hog, they go and they burrow.

Hogs and pigs are very intelligent.

My bursting heart must find vent at my pen.

But forgiveness is the act of not putting anyone out of your heart, even those who are acting out of deep ignorance or out of confusion and pain.

Do not cut lose from your longings - for what are we without our longings?

Luxury is...to be able to take control of one's life, health, and the pursuit of happiness in a way that is joyful.

All would live long, but none would be old.

The great thing about the arts is that you can only learn to do it by doing it.

One of the things I find about acting is that the less the audience knows about the actor, the more they're able to believe in him in the role.

You don't really see Asian men together very often. It's very rare in life.

The Christian-Judaic God does not exist, and if He did exist as described in the Bible, He would certainly not be a good role model.

If you don't love yourself, I'll make you see your own heart.
