No matter where you go and what you do in America, you turn the tele on and you're confronted with violence.

All you have to do in life is be passionate and enthusiastic and you will have a wonderful life.

A lot of people who work with wildlife work with wildlife to satisfy their own egos. And I don't really agree with that. What I do is get in nice and close to the animal to make the animal look good. My aim in this world is to make that brown snake, that crocodile, that koala, that red-backed spider, that black widow, look good. That's my job. I have absolutely no problem with my ego or my staff's ego.

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.

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.

If we save our wild places, we will ultimately save ourselves.

I believe that education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message.
