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.
Steve Irwin
Image
I get called an adrenaline junkie every other minute, and I'm just fine with that.
Steve Irwin
Image
And I have stopped eating tuna until the tuna nets cease killing tens of thousands of dolphins every single year.
Steve Irwin
Image
I want the cleanest water, the freshest air and wildlife in abundance... but most of all I want a future for our children.
Steve Irwin
Image
But I put my life on the line to save animals.
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 am optimistic globally. So many scientists are working frantically on the reparation of our planet. Unfortunately there are countries who are still destroying it, but we really hope the conservation message rubs off in our film. Every cent we earn from Crocodile Hunter goes straight back into conservation. Every single cent.

No matter where you go and what you do in America, you turn the tele on and you're confronted with violence.
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, 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
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
Image
If we save our wild places, we will ultimately save ourselves.
Steve Irwin
Image
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.
Steve Irwin
Image
Yeah, I think it's an absolute disaster that Australia, the government, allowed kangaroo culling.
Steve Irwin

Born a wildlife warrior, die a wildlife warrior.
Steve Irwin
Image
Herein lies our problem. If we level that much land to grow rice and whatever, then no other animal could live there except for some insect pest species. Which is very unfortunate.
Steve Irwin
Image
Crocodiles are easy. They try to kill and eat you. People are harder. Sometimes they pretend to be your friend first.
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
I probably don`t show fear, but I suffer from fear like everyone else.

The first crocodile I ever caught was at nine years of age, and it was a rescue.
