I thought my life was mapped out. Research, living in the forest, teaching and writing. But in '86 I went to a conference and realised the chimpanzees were disappearing. I had worldwide recognition and a gift of communication. I had to use them.
I always loved animals. And when I was ten, I decided I had to go to Africa and live with animals and write books about them.
At some point, my body will collapse. But I hope that my brain will still be working so that I can carry on with writing.
I love to write - it is a great source of reflection, especially as I continue to meet many new inspiring people.
