More quotes by Steve Irwin
I probably don`t show fear, but I suffer from fear like everyone else.
Steve Irwin
Where I live if someone gives you a hug it's from the heart.
Steve Irwin
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
Yeah, I'm a thrill seeker, but crikey, education's the most important thing.
Steve Irwin
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
Every cent we earn from Crocodile Hunter goes straight back into conservation. Every single cent.
Steve Irwin
I get called an adrenaline junkie every other minute, and I'm just fine with that.
Steve Irwin
Take the crocodile, for example, my favorite animal. There are 23 species. Seventeen of those species are rare or endangered. They're on the way out, no matter what anyone does or says, you know.
Steve Irwin
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
You know, I'm Australian, and we have got the worst sense of humor. We are cruel to each other.
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
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
Crocodiles are easy. They try to kill and eat you. People are harder. Sometimes they pretend to be your friend first.
Steve Irwin
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
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
If we save our wild places, we will ultimately save ourselves.
Steve Irwin
I was born and raised with crocodiles they are a piece of cake. But kids are so ... unpredictable.
Steve Irwin
And that unusual squawking sound is actually the mating call of the the rare...oh, it's just an oboe player.
Steve Irwin
My dad taught me from my youngest childhood memories through these connections with Aboriginal and tribal people that you must always protect people's sacred status, regardless of the pest.
Steve Irwin
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.
