I loved horses and horse books as a child.

Ever since I was a little girl, I have always loved animals and been fascinated with them.

I loved anything to do with animals from a very early age.

I have always loved animals since I was very young.

I read 'Animal Farm' when I was 11, and it remained my favorite book, really.

I've just always loved animals.

I've always loved horses. When I was younger, I competed in horse shows and did quite well.

'Misty of Chincoteague', 'The Black Stallion', the 'Saddle Club' books, I read 'em all. I was horse-crazy.

I've always been very fond of animals.

I was never a great reader, but there were two stories I loved best: Kipling's 'The Elephant's Child' and 'The Jungle Book.' Deep down, I've always wanted to write a book about a wild child and an elephant.
