Dominique Swain's Quotes

• "Everybody thinks people who promote PETA don't eat meat, but I think animals were made to be eaten. I take my part in the food chain very seriously. I eat meat, the rarer the better. I just don't think animals should be slaughtered for their fur." (Stuff Magazine, Feb. 2007)
• People have asked me if I consider any animal on Earth equal to, or greater than, human beings in terms of intelligence. On some counts, I believe animals are actually smarter than humans. Let's put it this way - how many animals have you seen drink booze, smoke, gamble, or take drugs?
• [2012 interview, on Lolita (1997)] I revere the novel, I've read it six times. Whenever there were scenes in the film, I would refer immediately back to the book for more information. One thing I wrote to Adrian Lyne on my audition tape that I initially sent, is that Lolita didn't have a point of view, she was third person. I told him I know who she is, and I can give her a point of view. That's all I wrote, and that's what I felt. When you're a kid, you have balls of steel.
