I am optimistic globally. So many scientists are working frantically on the reparation of our planet.

I was born and raised with crocodiles; they are a piece of cake. But kids are so ... unpredictable.

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

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.

Yeah, I think it's an absolute disaster that Australia, the government, allowed kangaroo culling.

We've evolved from sitting back on our tripods and shooting wildlife films like they have been shot historically, which doesn't work for us.
