Steve Irwin Quotes

—“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.”

—“Crikey!” — his catch phrase, exclaimed repeatedly during his television show.

—“Crikey, mate. You’re far safer dealing with crocodiles and western diamondback rattlesnakes than the executives and the producers and all those sharks in the big MGM building.”

—“I get called an adrenaline junkie every other minute, and I’m just fine with that.”

—“I’ve worked with more dangerous snakes than anyone in the world and I’ve never been bitten. It’s a gift.”

—“Crocodiles. I’ve been catching them since I was nine. No problem.”

—“Fear helps me from making mistakes, but I make lot of mistakes.”

—“It is all about perceived danger. In front of that crocodile I was in complete control. Absolute and complete control. That is my profession. I would be considered a bad parent if I didn’t teach my children to be crocodile savvy because they live here, they live in crocodile territory.” — On the 2004 controversy in which he was filmed holding his infant son while feeding a crocodile.
