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.

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

I sincerely believe that there's room for cutting down trees for forestry and grazing, so as we all get to eat. Everyone has to compromise.

My belief is that what comes across on the television is a capture of my enthusiasm and my passion for wildlife.

We humans still have a long way to go with learning to live harmoniously with our environment and its wildlife.

And I have stopped eating tuna until the tuna nets cease killing tens of thousands of dolphins every single year.
