“I guess, growing up at Australia Zoo and getting to travel all over the world, I have this great outlook on life, and that's what I hope I inspire other kids to have.”

“I make people step over the ant trail.”

“Everything I do in my life I do to make my mum and dad proud. I want to carry on in my dad's footsteps and make sure that his legacy lives on forever.”

“I feel like I'm nothing without wildlife. They are the stars. I feel awkward without them.”

“I have the most beautiful souls in my life supporting me and helping me to follow my dreams. I love them more than I can ever express in words.”

“I want my children and my grandchildren to live in a world with clean air, pure drinking water, and an abundance of wildlife, so I've chosen to dedicate my life to wildlife conservation so I can make the world just a little bit better.”

“I have the best daddy in the whole world, and I will miss him every day. When I see a crocodile, I will always think of him, and I know that Daddy made this zoo so everyone could come and learn to love all the animals.”

“It's so easy to be there when it's all sunshine, but it really takes strength and courage to be there for each other during the dark times.”

“I am trying different styles, and while you can't climb a tree or jump on a crocodile in a dress, it is nice to get dressed up every now and then and kind of walk away from the khaki for a moment.”

“I'm going to be doing exactly what I'm doing now - teaching people about animals.”

“I always think the true test of free speech is when someone says something you don't like.”

“I want to make him the proudest dad to have me and I want to show everybody and nearly be as good as him because he was the best.”

“I like cups of tea and reading books and poetry and old people things.”

“I had a brilliant time working with the entire cast and crew at 'Return To Nim's Island.' It's amazing how, after working on a film, you really become a family, and you build these really special bonds together.”

“I know that Daddy had an important job. He was working to change the world so everyone would love wildlife like he did. He built a hospital to help animals, and he bought lots of land to give animals a safe place to live.”

“We try to surround ourselves with love and light. You have to be there for each other. As a family, we are trying to make sure everything Dad worked so hard for carries on into the future.”

“My favourite thing in the world is going out to get Chinese food, then coming home and renting a movie.”

“Family doesn't necessarily mean that you have to have a mother, a father, a little brother, and an older sister.”

“When you lose someone whose life was so extraordinary like my dad's, you have two options: You can curl up in a dark corner... or rise above it and dust yourself off and continue with their work. He will always be with me.”

“My life is certainly not common, but I think of myself as... a 'normal' teenager.”
