"Chimpanzees have taught me that the difference between us and them is not as big as we once thought."

"My life has been an adventure, and I wouldn't have it any other way."

"My greatest joy is seeing young people get involved in conservation. They are the future."

"I often think about what the chimpanzees would say if they could talk. I think they'd tell us to be kinder to each other, and to the planet."

"The world needs more compassion."
