Since writing JAWS, I've been lucky enough to do close to forty television shows about wildlife in the oceans, and yes, I have been attacked by sea creatures once in a while.

Look, Chief, you can't go off half-cocked looking for vengeance against a fish. That shark isn't evil. It's not a murderer. It's just obeying its own instincts. Trying to get retribution against a fish is crazy.

I dive as much as I can.

Without the oceans there would be no life on Earth.

I've never been hurt by a sea creature, except for jellyfish and sea urchins.

Fascinations breeds preparedness, and preparedness, survival.

You're gonna need a bigger boat.
