JANE GOODALL: When I first went to Gombe, it was the most amazing time of my life.

DR. ANTHONY COLLINS: One of the things which is important for her is to get away and retouch her roots.

JANE GOODALL: Have to go this side.

DR. ANTHONY COLLINS: Everything which is happening today is because of the experiences she had in the first. And she needs to take strength from that. Ah, better.

DR. ANTHONY COLLINS: To be alone in the forest is what matters to her.

JANE GOODALL: Out in the forest, I had this very strong feeling of a great spiritual power out there. It was the kind of feeling that I sometimes have in one of the old cathedrals where people have been to worship year after year after year.

The chimpanzees I knew in the old days are almost all gone. But one of the ones who was my real, I'd say, friend was Gremlin.

The last time I actually saw Gremlin, she came right up to me and looked into my eyes. I mean, of course they recognize us just as we recognize them.

And I've always had a strange connection with animals. I connect with people with words. With animals, it's more mind to mind.

So many things in my life seem to be coincidence, but I'm not sure I believe that anymore, because things happen-- I think they seem to happen for a reason.
