Doris Day

I like joy; I want to be joyous; I want to have fun on the set; I want to wear beautiful clothes and look pretty. I want to smile, and I want to make people laugh. And that’s all I want. I like it. I like being happy. I want to make others happy.

I love all the shows that encourage people to love, appreciate and help animals. There are more programs about animals than ever, and that pleases me.

Doris Day

I think everything in my life has led to my animal welfare work.

Doris Day

I’ve never met an animal I didn’t like, and I can’t say the same thing about people.

If you play the numbers game and become obsessed with it, as so many in Hollywood are, sooner or later you have to face the depressing fact that if you are number one the only place you can go is down.

Doris Day

It was the only ambition I ever had – not to be a dancer or Hollywood movie star, but to be a housewife in a good marriage.

Doris Day

Killing an animal to make a coat is sin. It wasn’t meant to be, and we have no right to do it.

Doris Day

Well I do find the beauty in animals. I find beauty everywhere. I find beauty in my garden.

Doris Day

You haven’t lived until you’ve lived with a cat.
