I have a message for my fans. Whatever you want to do in this world, it is achievable. The most important thing that I've found, that perhaps you could use, is be passionate and enthusiastic in the direction that you choose in life, and you'll be a winner.

scientific whaling, and other lies will be exposed and become atrocities of the past.
Steve Irwin
Image
We don’t own the planet Earth, we belong to it. And we must share it with our wildlife.
Steve Irwin
Image
You know, you can touch a stick of dynamite, but if you touch a venomous snake it'll turn around and bite you and kill you so fast it's not even funny.
Steve Irwin
Image
Yeah, I think it's an absolute disaster that Australia, the government, allowed kangaroo culling.
Steve Irwin

We humans still have a long way to go with learning to live harmoniously with our environment and its wildlife.
Steve Irwin

Crocodiles are easy. They try to kill and eat you. People are harder. Sometimes they pretend to be your friend first.
Steve Irwin
Image
Snakes are just very instinctive to me. I've been playing with snakes since before I could walk. It doesn't matter where or what it is, from the biggest to the most venomous.
Steve Irwin
Image
Yeah, for some reason parrots have to bite me. That's their job. I don't know why that is. They've nearly torn my nose off. I've had some really bad parrot bites.
Steve Irwin
Image
Yeah, I'm a thrill seeker, but crikey, education's the most important thing.
Steve Irwin
Image
What television has done is it's given me a stepping stone to get to some other countries and really wild destinations throughout this world, which perhaps I would have had to struggle to get to.
Steve Irwin
Image
Crikey means gee whiz, wow! Crikey, mate. You're far safer dealing with crocodiles and western diamondback rattlesnakes than the executives and the producers and all those sharks in the big MGM building.
Steve Irwin
Image
If we can teach people about wildlife, they will be touched. Share my wildlife with me. Because humans want to save things that they love.
Steve Irwin
Image
So, my tactic with conservation of apex predators is to get people excited and take them to where they live.
Steve Irwin
Image
I was born and raised with crocodiles they are a piece of cake. But kids are so ... unpredictable.
Steve Irwin
Image
I've probably saved thousands of peoples' lives with my educational message on snake bites, how to get in around venomous anything.
Steve Irwin
Image
I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it.
Steve Irwin
Image
If we save our wild places, we will ultimately save ourselves.
Steve Irwin
Image
I would sooner die of a taipan bite then tell my dad that I got bitten by a taipan. Because my nose would bleed from his kicking my ass.
Steve Irwin

We've evolved from sitting back on our tripods and shooting wildlife films like they have been shot historically, which doesn't work for us.
