As I started to research gorillas, I began to understand that they're all totally individual and idiosyncratic, and they have their own personalities.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I feel more comfortable with gorillas than people. I can anticipate what a gorilla's going to do, and they're purely motivated.
Certain gorillas are more evolved than certain human beings I know.
Gorillas are almost altruistic in nature. There's very little if any 'me-itis.' When I get back to civilization, I'm always appalled by 'me, me, me.'
The more you learn about the dignity of the gorilla, the more you want to avoid people.
Gorillas may seem terrifying because of their bodies, but they are really magnificent and very gentle.
Gorillas have a belch vocalization, which is sort of like, 'I'm OK, you're OK.' They do a pig grunt, which is reprimanding. They sing, they laugh, and they hoot, which grows into a chest-beating display.
You know, there are many alter egos and Gorillaz is a collective of alter egos, really. I think anyone who gets involved in it has to sort of accept that nothing is really as it seems.
Early experiences convinced me that animals can and do have quite distinct personalities.
That penetrating gaze, that intelligence; it's hard not to be anthropomorphic when you're looking at a great ape - at any primate - but especially with gorillas. They're just so magnificent.
I look like a gorilla, just the way I'm built.
