“You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.”

I’m trying to get across the message that don’t be afraid of animals, they’re just put on this earth to help the environment and everything like that.

I really think I like poisonous snakes.

There is someone special in my life right now, and I’m really happy with that, life is wonderful at the moment.

Every time you lose an animal, it’s like losing a brick from the house. Pretty soon the house just falls down, you know?

I love having my birthday at Australia Zoo.

If there’s one thing I really want for my birthday, that is for the mining company not to mine my daddy’s reserve.

I feel like I’m nothing without wildlife. They are the stars. I feel awkward without them.

Permaculture is an integrated, evolving system of perennial and self-perpetuating plants and animal species useful to man.

Only by entering new and unfamiliar worlds can a person change society as well as self.

Sometimes seeming happy can be self-destructive even when you’re sane.

All we have to do is to receive what we are given…We are given the naturalness to love someone, to be calm in crisis, to ignore self-defeating suggestions, to be pleasant, forgiving, tender, helpful, unworried, brave, energetic.

If you want a quality, act as if you already had it.

We learn to be right and to make everyone else wrong. The need to be right is the result of trying to protects the image we want to project to the outside. We have to impose our way of thinking, not just onto other humans, but even upon ourselves.

Comedy is the one absolutely self-aware art form. Actually, hip-hop’s another one, I suppose. Because in your songs you’re talking about how good a hip-hop artist you are. It’s like a painter painting a panting of himself painting a painting.

The gap between our sincere values and our actual behavior is the source of all self-hatred.
