Clint Eastwood 'saved' his daughter by raising her outside of Los Angeles: 'I am very thankful'

"Growing up in the industry was very interesting. Although I didn't really grow up in L.A., which I am very thankful for, I grew up in the Carmel, Pebble Beach, Monterey area, and I feel like maybe that kind of saved me from some of the pitfalls that might have happened when a child grows up with a celebrity parent in Los Angeles."

"I love people, I love animals, and I want them to come together. And I thought this was the best way to make that happen."

"I was prompted to start my organization when I became painfully aware of the overpopulation problem we had in our Southern California shelters and then everywhere in the country."
