"I had the most beautiful, privately owned zoo in the world… Anybody who ever complained about my cages being too small... All they had to do is donate money to build a bigger cage."

"I'm going to be a free man again."

"I fed tigers expired Walmart meat—it’s cheaper than dog food."

"I'm going to clear my name."

"I'm a redneck, I'm a hillbilly, I'm a gay, gun-toting, tiger-owning son of a bitch."
