“I have no fear of losing my life. If I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it.”
“I think my path would have always gone back to or delivered me to wildlife. I think wildlife is just like a magnet, and it’s something that I can’t help.”
“I have a deep-seated respect for parrots. As gifted as I am with all other wildlife, parrots have this uncanny desire to kill me. I’m not sure why, but they’re like my kryptonite!”
“I would never blame an animal if it bit me, that is for sure, because I’m at fault, not them.”
(About keeping the cameras rolling) “Even if a big big old alligator is chewing me up I want to go down and go, ‘Crikey!’ just before I die. That would be the ultimate for me.”
“Fear helps me from making mistakes, but I make lot of mistakes.”
“I’m high as a kite, mate. I’m flat out like a lizard drinking, all the time. You know I have trouble just sitting here. You know, I’m just like, got to get up. ”
About poachers…. “These Hitlers use the camouflage of science to make money out of animals… So whenever they murder our animals and call it sustainable use, I’ll fight it. Since when has killing a wild animal, eating it or wearing it, ever saved a species? There are people who butt out their cigarettes in gorilla-paw ashtrays, with wastepaper baskets that were once elephant feet, who have ivory ornaments… who wear cheetah fur. Don’t buy these things! Then there’ll be no market and the animals won’t be killed.”
It’s sad how some people just have utterly no respect for him, or any people or living things out there other than their own. It’s unfortunate….
Steve’s life was larger than life…. larger than most of ours. He died doing what he love the most. I think that’s the only way he would had wanted to go. Saw clips of him on Animal Planet again today and i’m always moved by what he said ( even before he died )….
i think it goes something like this….
” When people care about wildlife, they would want to save it…. The reason i’m here, the reason i was put onto this Earth, is to save wildlife and educate people about their plight…”
