Steve Irwin

“I'm a proud Australian, a very, very proud Australian.”

“Crikey, mate! You're far safer dealing with crocodiles and snakes than the executives and the producers and all those sharks in the big city.”

“The only thing that can stop me is my injuries.”

“We don't own the planet Earth, we belong to it. And we must share it with our wildlife.”

“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.”

“My job, my mission, the reason I’ve been put on this planet, is to save wildlife.”

“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.”

“I am a wildlife warrior. My mission is to save the world's endangered species.”

“I believe that education is all about being excited about something.”

“I'm a thrill-seeker, but crikey, education is the most important thing.”

“Yeah, I'm a thrill seeker, but crikey, risk is a part of my job.”

“The message is simple: love and conserve our wildlife.”

“When I talk to the camera, I'm talking to the people. I'm not talking to the camera, I'm talking to you.”

“Crocodiles are easy. They try to kill and eat you. People are harder. They pretend to be your friend first.”
