« I shot six times the amount of film I needed [for Rat Life and Diet in North America]. I had a magnifying lens on the end of the camera but one moment I'd be right up close, and the next they'd be gone. The rats were a gift of Graham Ferguson, who did the film on the Polar Regions at Expo. They are two couples, and each has a lifetime mate. They have great personalities; they're very haunted characters, like the political radicals in the United States. »
