Terri Irwin

I always am astounded at how willing Steve was to share all about himself. And sometimes he got criticized for it. But he was so open and yet so private about some things.

Crocodiles are an apex predator and crucial to the ecosystem, keeping waterways and wetlands healthy. Crocodiles eradicate the weak, sick, and injured wildlife, leaving only the healthy to prosper.

I have friends who have lost husbands and have gone off and tried different things. Nothing wrong with that.

I think, for other people who have lost someone and have loved again, it's a beautiful thing. But it's just not really on my horizon.

I still feel immense love and loyalty to Steve. And I've got great kids, I've got a very full life, and while I'm lonely for Steve, I'm not a lonely person.

You might not think of 'conservation' immediately when you think of Russell Crowe, but he is a great conservationist in his own right.

The only way to honor Steve and his legacy and everything he lived for was to try to continue his work and expand on it.

Steve said to me how excited he was when Bindi was born. He said, 'Do you think we could have a boy?' And then Robert was born, and they're perfect. They're easy kids. They're wonderful to me; they're such a help.

It's a dynamic of grief within any family, and I found, after we lost Steve, his dad just began distancing himself. And I think it's a coping mechanism. I found it very confusing.

When Bindi and Robert have grown, there will probably be another life for me, and I can't anticipate exactly what that will be, but it will involve continuing Steve's work, conservation, being there for my kids, Australia Zoo.

I don't know a single surfer who would say, 'Gee, I wish there were no sharks in the ocean.'

I haven't dated anyone in the ten years since we lost Steve just because I feel a connection still with Steve.

When you take those vows and say, 'We'll be together as long as we both shall live,' I really don't think I would've married if I hadn't met Steve. And he's very special to me and continues to be.

I think it's wonderful when people who have lost someone find love again, but I'm not personally looking, and I haven't been on a date in 27 years. In fact, it's been so long, I've had a couple of lovely women ask me out because they figured that's the case.

I think being in a car is far more dangerous. I feel much more in control with a 16 foot croc, 3,000 pounds jaw pressure trying to have a go at me.

I'll never leave. I love Australia, and I'm doing my best to be a fair dinkum Aussie sheila and honour all of Steve's work, and yeah, I'll be here the rest of my life.

Steve took my counsel on everything. He appreciated that I loved business and let me do that end of it. We complemented each other and had a natural, fun competitiveness.

Steve was every woman's fantasy: macho but not a jerk, sensitive but not a wuss.

To get someone who is sensitive yet strong... Steve was that.

I find it wonderful when people live, love, and laugh again.
