I didn't want to do a zoo show. I didn't want to do a study of someone with mental illness. I just wanted to show someone who was trying to live their life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My parents used to take me to the pet department and tell me it was a zoo.
I hate zoos.
I have friends who come to the Australia Zoo, and it's just, instead of playing video games, we get to hug and kiss a giraffe or walk a tiger.
I've never really been able to tolerate zoos.
I didn't want to do film or commercials or television.
I got access to a private tour of the zoo. I got to go in a cage with a koala, which I highly recommend.
I don't do one show and wish I was doing something else.
I hate to witness animals in captivity - or see circus elephants paraded down the streets. When animals are caged, it's a loss of what they are.
I have spent my entire life living in a zoo, which is pretty crazy. Not many kids get to say that, and it took me until I was about three years old to realize that we didn't just come to the zoo every day, that we actually lived here.
There's no better feeling in the world than knowing that my show played a role in stopping animal abuse or alleviating animal suffering.
