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.

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

And I have stopped eating tuna until the tuna nets cease killing tens of thousands of dolphins every single year.

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.

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
The only animals I'm not comfortable with are parrots, but I'm learning as I go. I'm getting better and better at 'em. I really am.
Steve Irwin
Image
But I put my life on the line to save animals.

When the East Timor conflict broke out, when they gained independence, the militia killed a lot of East Timorese people. And their sacred totem is the crocodile. They believe that their island is actually a solidified crocodile, so it has sacred status.

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.

scientific whaling, and other lies will be exposed and become atrocities of the past.
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
And that unusual squawking sound is actually the mating call of the the rare...oh, it's just an oboe player.
Steve Irwin

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.

I get called an adrenaline junkie every other minute, and I'm just fine with that.
Steve Irwin
Image
You know, I'm Australian, and we have got the worst sense of humor. We are cruel to each other.
Steve Irwin
Image
Yeah, I'm a thrill seeker, but crikey, education's the most important thing.
Steve Irwin
Image
The message is simple: love and conserve our wildlife.
Steve Irwin

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
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 believe our biggest issue is the same biggest issue that the whole world is facing, and that's habitat destruction.

Where I live if someone gives you a hug it's from the heart. I've had these blokes in Hollywood hug me trying to make out I'm their friend and as soon as I turn their back they take out a big bunch of knives and stab me in the back. I feel sorry for these people because they are so shallow.
