She has tales to tell in her memoir, Tippi(Dey St.), available November 1.Here are some of her best quotes through the years.
My light shines when things get really tough.
I kind of look at my modeling career and the Hitchcock years as stepping stones to what Im doing now.
Hitchcock had a charm about him. He was very funny at times. He was incredibly brilliant in his field of suspense.
Birds I am fine with spiders are an entirely different matter.
Self-belief? My parents gave it to me.
Everything that Ive done in my life was to lead me to my work with the animals.
Hitchcock had a very strange mind.
I know so many people who are eaten up by regret. It manifests itself in so many ways. They either become mentally a bit off, or they get very fat, or they are just horribly depressed.
I had to have help getting up these stairs because Ive been tackled by so many lions and tigers. Really. Im like an old football player.
To be the object of someones obsession is horrible.
