“Joe Exotic” quotes from Tiger King

It is a ticking time bomb if somebody thinks they’re going to walk in here and take my animals away. It’s gonna be a small Waco.

Does it feel good to stand on my stage with 500-pound tigers and everybody envy you? Absolutely.

Carole Baskin. Yep, that lady who profits over $1.5m, suckin’ on your heartstrings about shit on the internet that ain’t even true!

Carole's bitchin' that she's got this big gray cloud over her head over people thinking she fed her husband to the tigers.

If you're an animal rights person, and you try and come into this facility.... this is what you're gonna be dealing with!

I am Joe Exotic, and don't forget, I am now stepping my foot in the ring to run for President.

And it didn’t matter how stupid he had to get, or if I was sitting there concentrating as hard as I could on the computer to write a letter to a senator or a congressman or something else, he’d come and rub them balls in my face. Everybody that works here knows exactly what I’m talking about, ’cause you’ve seen his balls. They were like golden nuggets to that boy.
