I shouldn't be married.

Hitchcock had a very strange mind.

Self-belief? My parents gave it to me.

When you love someone, you treat them well.

My light shines when things get really tough.

I'm regarded as the patron saint of manicurists.

To be the object of someone's obsession is horrible.

I can look at myself in the mirror, and I can be proud.

There were so many people who wanted me for their films.

It's going to be very interesting to see somebody playing me.

Birds I am fine with - spiders are an entirely different matter.

It has become my mission to stop the insanity of wild cats as pets.

I kinda go for the Jane Eyre type of film. I am fascinated by classics.

You don't know what mental telepathy exists from the human to the animal.

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

Everything that I've done in my life was to lead me to my work with the animals.

I have a strong Lutheran background, and my parents instilled in me strong morals.

We had a lion that was living in somebody's basement outside of Branson, Missouri.

It does take a little work to be a vegetarian but it's so worth it, oh it's so worth it!

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

To be the object of somebody's obsession is a really awful feeling when you can't return it.

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

Hitchcock had a charm about him. He was very funny at times. He was incredibly brilliant in his field of suspense.

One lion thinks it's just hilarious to tackle us. He's very funny about it... and we always know when it will happen.

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

So I think it is common knowledge that Hitchcock had fantasies or whatever you want to call them about his leading ladies.

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.

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

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.

I had to have help getting up these stairs because I've been tackled by so many lions and tigers. Really. I'm like an old football player.

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.

He was such a fabulous drama coach. What better person to have than Alfred Hitchcock? His work as a director was impeccable. I learned so much.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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'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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

I was under contract with Hitchcock before I even met him. They wouldn't tell me anything about the film, or who was working on it. They had all sorts of excuses as to why they couldn't tell me anything.
