“The earth is a great big orphanage for most animals.” — Eric Roberts Quote

The earth is a great big orphanage for most animals.

I'm really good with fighting with my feet.

I did have a dog for a few years when I was little, but then just really had cats until I was about 21.

We loved being in Russia and would love to go back again, especially to visit my namesake.

Years later I made a movie with Wayne Newton, who has Arabians.

I was brought up to understand Darwin's theory of evolution. I spent hours and hours in the Natural History Museum in London looking at the descriptions of how different kinds of animals had evolved, looking at the sequence of fossil bones looking gradually more and more and more and more like the modern fossil.

I really need to work. People think that I'm no longer interested in acting and only interested in working with the animals. Obviously I have given that impression, but it is not how I feel. I think I'm a good actor. I think I look OK. I don't understand why I'm not working all the time.

The intuitive connection children feel with animals can be a tremendous source of joy. The unconditional love received from pets, and the lack of artifice in the relationship, contrast sharply with the much trickier dealings with members of their own species.

I love children and animals.
