A good farmer is nothing more nor less than a handy man with a sense of humus.

When you meet the farmers and go to the farms, you see that they treat their animals like they're family. It makes a big difference.

If you make a film about a pig farmer in Wales and you are a huge hit as the pig farmer's wife, the next thing is you'll be asked to do a film about a sheep farmer in Scotland.

I'd sit on a horse and forget I was even sick.

My uncle always said that I could have been a rancher.

I'm not a sheep.

Anything that got to do with a pig, I ain't eatin'.

I'm still a farm boy at heart. If I hadn't suffered from asthma as a child, I would be a farmer today.

I don't think I'd ever be cruel to an animal.

I definitely could not write a character that was cruel or unconcerned with animal welfare. For me, not just as a writer but for the person I am, I love animals.
