In my movies, there has been little to do in the way of animal rights. I have never worked in a movie with animals. No horse-riding, no trained dogs, lions, bears. A few actors, but what could I do? We had to have them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not into animal rights. I'm only into animal welfare and health. I've been with the Morris Animal Foundation since the '70s. We're a health organization. We fund campaign health studies for dogs, cats, lizards and wildlife. I've worked with the L.A. Zoo for about the same length of time. I get my animal fixes!
I love animals and I love to see movies with animals that are done respectfully, you know?
I'm definitely an animal lover, and I stand up for all animals' rights.
I've become an animal rights activist.
A good way to take a baby step into the world of animal rights is to make a list of small things you can do to help your issue and work your way up to the big things. Make a promise to do one thing on your list each month.
Working with animals is always going to be tough because the animal doesn't know it's an actor.
Acting is about animality. It's great to be allowed to be animal. But I feel more alive as a director. Every morning, I have to write.
To a certain extent, I think I've become an animal-rights person.
For actors in Hollywood, it's very straightforward. We're well-paid animals in a zoo.
I'm an animal-rights person, actually. Big time.
