I can tell you that I'd rather be kissed by my dogs than by some people I've known.

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.

I was asked by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Los Angeles to help them with some promotions. . . . After that, I was invited to be the honorary chairman of Be Kind to Animals Week in Los Angeles. As a result of that, I did television, radio and newspaper interviews, and I was invited to participate in some of their activities. I had made financial contributions to animal-oriented organizations, but I had never actively participated. So I started working with a couple of them, and the more I became aware . . . of the terrible mistreatment and exploitation of animals, why, I just felt compelled to do what I could to help rectify the situation. And that’s what I’ve been doing for the last 35 years or so.

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.

Many people have the idea that game shows are easy to come up with. And nothing could be further from the truth.

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.

Nothing gives me quite so much joy as when people tell me they've had their pets spayed or neutered.

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!

You can't fool television viewers with dancing girls and flashing lights.
