“I don’t love animals or think they are cute.”
"Sabotaging Animal Rights for Deer Hunt," 1986
“If I had known this, I would've put that patch on thirty-five years earlier.”
1969 Academy Awards speech for Best Actor in True Grit.
Look at the Harlequins! (1974).
“I don’t use the word 'pet.' I think it’s speciesist language. I prefer 'companion animal.”
For one thing, we would no longer allow breeding. People could not create different breeds. There would be no pet shops. If people had companion animals in their homes, those animals would have to be refugees from the animal shelters and the streets. You would have a protective relationship with them just as you would with an orphaned child. But as the surplus of cats and dogs (artificially engineered by centuries of forced breeding) declined, eventually companion animals would be phased out, and we would return to a more symbiotic relationship — enjoyment at a distance.

De Abaitua interview (1998)
Context: I don’t know quite what I mean by my own metaphor, but I have feeling, it may bring in an even greater, faster space of fluid transmission, where no structures, as we used to understand structure, will sustain itself – we will have to come up with new notions of structure where things can change by the moment. I’m talking about physical structures, political structures, I can’t see coherent political structures in the traditional sense lasting beyond the next twenty years, I don’t think that would be possible.
