I thought I would be Sheena of the Jungle as a little girl.
Animals were my passion from even before I could speak apparently. When I was about 10, 11 I fell in love with Tarzan.
If you want to get lost in the jungle rhythm, get down on the ground and pretend you're swimming.
I was asked to do 'I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here,' and I said: 'No thank you.'
George of the Jungle is a cartoon. He's a guy who swings around on a vine all day. Are you not buying that?
I got my love of animals from the Dr. Doolittle books and my love of Africa from the Tarzan novels. I remember my mum taking me to the first Tarzan film, which starred Johnny Weissmuller, and bursting into tears. It wasn't what I had imagined at all.
There might be children in Somalia or the Arctic who have never heard of 'Hamlet' or the 'Great Gatsby.' But you can bet they know 'Tarzan.'
Bermuda - the waters are calm and shallow and are excellent for snorkelling. I loved St, George's on the tip of the island. I got to swing from the vines like a Jungle Jane and visit Crystal Caves, which were the inspiration for TV show 'Fraggle Rock.'
I wanted to be like the heroes of the books I read. That's why I wanted to go to the jungle. I wasn't interested in danger from the adrenaline aspect, I was more interested in the romance.
I'm sure they will have more sequels for 'Tarzan' where he goes to England, school, and whatever else they can think of. It's a natural that they will continue the series.
How can a guy climb trees, say Me Tarzan, You Jane, and make a million?
Can you imagine - a blond Tarzan?
From the very, very beginning, we made the decision that 'Tarzan' wasn't going to sing. My co-director, Chris Buck, and I said to each other that we couldn't imagine a half-naked man in the jungle simply bursting into song.
I was lucky enough to go to South America and kayak on the Amazon and camp in the jungle in 2011.
'Indigenous' is a bit of a gory thriller film that's centered around five best friends who take a vacation to Panama. They are enticed into the forbidden jungle by a local Panamanian and are being hunted by an indigenous creature - the legendary Chupacabra.
I shall never forget my first encounter with gorillas. Sound preceded sight. Odor preceded sound in the form of an overwhelming, musky-barnyard, humanlike scent. The air was suddenly rent by a high-pitched series of screams followed by the rhythmic rondo of sharp pok-pok chestbeats from a great silverbacked male obscured behind what seemed an impenetrable wall of vegetation.
Oddly enough, Black Panther's almost like an analog to Tarzan.
