PETA's campaign should be included in school curricula. If we can open children's hearts and minds to animals' needs, teach them to treat a dog or a chicken as if they feel fear and love and pain - as they do - then they will grow up to understand that we are all worthy of respect.
I think I've kind of been mistaken for somebody who's trying to be a spokesperson for animal rights, and the fact is I'm not qualified to be a spokesperson. I am passionate about it, but I'm not trying to make other people do what I do.
I've become an animal rights activist.
No one is more keen than me to see the Hunting Act repealed, because I believe in the management of wildlife.
I like PETA as a group for many reasons, but one of the reasons that I admire them is that they say and do the things that other groups won't do.
As people's lifestyles have improved, they've become more and more sensitive toward animals. It's becoming a universal value, like Western classical music.
I can't remember when I wasn't an animal rights activist.
Sam was helping animals long before he was Sam Simon. He lived what he believed; his thing was making the world better and having rights for animals, and every area of his life reflected that.
The more you learn about animals and animal rights - it's an intriguing, fascinating world.
I love working with PETA.
