I'm very embarrassing to look at. You know why? Here's why I'm embarrassing: 'cause there's a little bit of me in everybody... I'm like the boy that never grew up. I'm very, very passionate about what I do. I mean, I love what I do.... and people are like "God, give this guy a valium or something, you know? Can't he have a bad day?"

Steve Irwin

I don't know, man; don't worry about it.

Steve Irwin

I've probably saved thousands of people's lives with my educational message on snake bites, how to get in around venomous anything. Yeah, I'm a thrill seeker, but crikey, education's the most important thing.

Steve Irwin

If something ever happens to me, people are gonna be like 'we knew a croc would get him!

I've got the Terri factor, mate. I've got this wife that is so incredibly intelligent and strong that I reckon, between us, we'll get through it.
