Young Judy Hopps: Fear. Treachery. Bloodlust. Thousands of years ago, these were the forces that ruled our world. A world where prey were scared of predators. And predators had an uncontrollable, biological urge to maim and maul and…[throws red confetti] Ahh! Blood! Blood! Blood! [Falls and squeezes ketchup into the air] And death.
Judy Hopps: Sir, I’m not just some token bunny.
Judy Hopps: I’m not…I’m not a hero. I came here to make the world a better place but I think I broke it.
Judy Hopps: I know you’ll never forgive me, and I don’t blame you. I wouldn’t forgive me either. I was ignorant and irresponsible and small-minded. But predators shouldn’t suffer because of my mistakes. I have to fix this. But I can’t do it without you. And…and after we’re done, you can hate me, and… and that’ll be fine, because I was a horrible friend, and I hurt you, and you… and you can walk away knowing that you were right all along. I really am just a dumb bunny.
Nick Wilde: Sly bunny.
Judy Hopps: Dumb Fox.

Inspirational Judy Hopps Quotes

Judy Hopps is one inspiring bunny! Here are some of her motivational quotes!

Sharla: Yeah, I don’t have to cower in a herd anymore. Instead, I can be an astronaut
Jaguar: I don’t have to be a lonely hunter anymore. Today I can hunt for tax exemptions; I’m going to be an actuary!
Young Judy Hopps: And I can make the world a better place. I am going to be…a police officer!
Judy Hopps: The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
Young Judy Hopps: [After being told there has never been a bunny cop] Oh. Then I guess I’ll have to be the first one. Because I am gonna make the world a better place.

Young Judy Hopps: Well he was right about one thing, I don’t know when to quit.
Nick Wilde: If the world’s only gonna see a fox as shifty and untrustworthy, there’s no point in trying to be anything else.
Judy Hopps: Nick, you are so much more than that.
Judy Hopps: When I was a kid, I thought Zootopia was this perfect place where everyone got along and anyone could be anything. Turns out, real life’s a little bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker. Real life is messy. We all have limitations. We all make mistakes. Which means, hey, glass half full, we all have a lot in common. And the more we try to understand one another, the more exceptional each of us will be. But we have to try. So no matter what kind of animal you are, from the biggest elephant, to our first fox, I implore you…try. Try to make the world a better place. Look inside yourself and recognize that change starts with you. It starts with me. It starts with all of us.
