It is hard working with animals, I've got to say.

I like animals, all animals. I wouldn't hurt a cat or a dog - or a chicken or a cow. And I wouldn't ask someone else to hurt them for me. That's why I'm a vegetarian.

Each year, billions of animals are subjected to cruelty on factory farms, feed lots, and slaughterhouses. The brutality that these animals endure would be grounds for felony cruelty charges if inflicted upon our cats and dogs.

So I won't say I'm lucky. I'm fortunate enough to find or attract very talented people. For some reason I found them, and they found me.

You shouldn't say 'animals' to distinguish between humans and non-humans. We are all animals.

If you want it, and you want to get it, then you've got to work hard for it, like Tupac was working hard for it.
