• "Anytime you use an animal in entertainment, it has to suffer in some way."
• "There's just no way that any sort of circus can provide an adequate living environment for an animal. The way they travel around, the cages they're in, the way they're chained and of course beaten, takes away any dignity they might have, and robs them of their right to a decent life."
• "I think any girl who comes to Hollywood with sex symbol or bombshell hanging over her has a rough road."
• "I'm not actively competetive with other women in the business... I've never had someone in my life, agent or otherwise, fighting for me."
