heart animal years
One of the things that I have seen change that warms the cockles of my heart is what is happening in the cosmetics industry. For years, they were doing horrible things to animals in the manufacture of cosmetics, and testing of the most barbaric types; today, if you go into a drugstore and go down the [cosmetics] aisle, look at how many of them say no animal testing. I've talked with people who work in the cosmetics departments, and they tell me, Without that, you can't sell them. And that's wonderful!
zoos average ideas
We must educate the public. The average person has no idea of what's going on in factory farms, in laboratories, circuses, roadside zoos or rodeos.
girl light dancing
You can't fool television viewers with dancing girls and flashing lights
games ideas people
Many people have the idea that game shows are easy to come up with. And nothing could be further from the truth
usa missing unexpected
The cardinal rule for hosting the Miss USA and Miss Universe beauty pageants is to expect the unexpected.
people giving joy
Nothing gives me quite so much joy as when people tell me they've had their pets spayed or neutered.
past thinking animal
I became a vegetarian out of concern for animals, but I wasn't a vegetarian long before I realized there's something to that. I don't think I would have worked for the past five years probably were it not for my vegetarian diet.
country decision television
Networks decide who will have a chance to do shows, but it is the viewers who make the final decision of who stays and who goes. I am very fortunate, in that the television viewers of our country have decided that Bob Barker can stay.
change mistake sometimes
Change isn't always good. Sometimes changing things is a terrible mistake.
believe thinking snacks
I can't believe you're a professional golfer. I think you should be working at the snack bar.
dog people known
I can tell you that I'd rather be kissed by my dogs than by some people I've known.
thinking numbers age
I think that age as a number is not nearly as important as health. You can be in poor health and be pretty miserable at 40 or 50. If you're in good health, you can enjoy things into your 80s.
strong feel-better thinking
I'm a vegetarian - I think there's a strong possibility, had I not become a vegetarian, I would not be working now. I became a vegetarian about 25 years ago, and I did it out of concern for animals. But I immediately began having more energy and feeling better
pet population helping
Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered.
