Quotes

 * At first you think, 'Gosh, monkeys, that's so kind of incredible … But you started to kind of feel a little bit, not competitive with the monkeys, but that they weren't really — they didn't really have your best interests at heart.They aren't these … They want to replace you. They're not that impressed with the opposable thumbs.'
