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.

More quotes by Steve Irwin
Yeah, I'm a thrill seeker, but crikey, education's the most important thing.
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
The message is simple: love and conserve our wildlife.
Steve Irwin
We humans still have a long way to go with learning to live harmoniously with our environment and its wildlife.
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.
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.
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
I get called an adrenaline junkie every other minute, and I'm just fine with that.
Steve Irwin
Where I live if someone gives you a hug it's from the heart.
Steve Irwin
But I put my life on the line to save animals.
Steve Irwin
So, my tactic with conservation of apex predators is to get people excited and take them to where they live.
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
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
I've probably saved thousands of peoples' lives with my educational message on snake bites, how to get in around venomous anything.
Steve Irwin
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
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
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
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
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.
Steve Irwin
