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.
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.
Hitchcock had a charm about him. He was very funny at times. He was incredibly brilliant in his field of suspense.
My light shines when things get really tough.
It has become my mission to stop the insanity of wild cats as pets.
As far as I know, Vera Miles had a terrible time with Hitchcock, and she wanted to get out of the contract. He didn't let her. She did 'Psycho,' and I believe, if you look at 'Psycho,' there isn't one close up of Vera, not one. After that, she would never even speak about him to anyone.
Federal legislation is urgently needed to stop this insanity of wild animals in captivity.
Right now I'm looking at a liger out my bedroom window. He's half lion and half tiger. And he's absolutely beautiful. His name is Patrick.
Being the object of Alfred Hitchcock's obsession was horrific, but while he ruined my career, he could never ruin my life.
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.
I'm regarded as the patron saint of manicurists.
One lion thinks it's just hilarious to tackle us. He's very funny about it... and we always know when it will happen.
There were so many people who wanted me for their films.
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.
I have a strong Lutheran background, and my parents instilled in me strong morals.
I can look at myself in the mirror, and I can be proud.
To be the object of someone's obsession is horrible.
Animal abuse is rampant in the U.S., right under everyone's eyes, for the entertainment of the public. The brutal confinement and pain of training methods of wild animals in the circus, the aquatic and theatrical shows, leads to retaliation by the animals. Eventually they find the right time to strike out, and they will.
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.
We have a lion, tiger, liger, which is the father is a lion and the mother is a tiger, black and spotted leopard, mountain lion, Asian leopard cats. Weve got a tremendous number of the exotic feline.
