Notable quotes from Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS


(AP) - A selection of quotes from television star and wildlife enthusiast Steve Irwin, who died Monday after being fatally stabbed in the chest with a stingray's barb:


-"Crikey!" - his catch phrase, exclaimed repeatedly during his television show whenever something interesting happens.


-"I get called an adrenaline junkie every other minute, and I'm just fine with that."


-"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've worked with more dangerous snakes than anyone in the world and I've never been bitten. It's a gift."


-"I bled a lot. I got hit across the face. We couldn't film for seven days. I got hit, whacked, underwater, across the face. I finished the shot, got into the boat and blood started coming out." - on one particularly close shave.


-"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." - comparing dealing with deadly animals with show business.


-"Crocodiles. I've been catching them since I was nine. No problem."
