Ive always had a fascination for animals. I loved watching them, and even then I thought of them as beings rather than pets. I call it a birth affect!
I know so many people who are eaten up by regret. It manifests itself in so many ways. They either become mentally a bit off, or they get very fat, or they are just horribly depressed.
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 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 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.
I had to be extremely strong to fight off Mr Hitchcock. He was so insistent and obsessive, but I was an extremely strong young woman, and there was no way he was going to get the better of me.
There were so many people who wanted me for their films.
I could really use a corporate sponsor. People think that because you’re in the movies, you’re rich. I have allocated all my resources to Shambala so the animals will always be safe.
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.
You don’t know what mental telepathy exists from the human to the animal.
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.
Self-belief? My parents gave it to me.
You can have a million dollar, 20 million dollar budget or 60 million dollar budget, and if you don’t have a good script, it doesn’t mean a thing.
To be the object of someone’s obsession is horrible.
I kinda go for the Jane Eyre type of film. I am fascinated by classics.
I don’t know if you have ever been the object of someone’s obsession – but if it’s not of your desire, it is horrible. It is really awful.
I didn’t think any amount of money was worth something that would take away what you believed in or what you stood for. I didn’t want to do something my parents and daughter couldn’t be proud of.
It does take a little work to be a vegetarian but it’s so worth it, oh it’s so worth it!
When you love someone, you treat them well.
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.
