I have friends who come to the Australia Zoo, and it’s just, instead of playing video games, we get to hug and kiss a giraffe or walk a tiger. – Bindi Irwin
In real life, I am trying to save the Steve Irwin wildlife preserve. It’s in Australia, up on Cape York, and it’s in danger of being strip-mined. – Bindi Irwin
I’m driving my dad’s old ute. So it’s a manual ute. It’s massive, so when people see me coming, they just kind of run away! – Bindi Irwin
Mom and Dad are truly my heroes. And I have to say, so is my little brother Robert. He’s 11, and he’s just the most amazing boy. He’s so much like Dad sometimes, it’s a bit scary. – Bindi Irwin
You do only live once, and I feel like if I’m able to make a difference on this planet and leave it just a little better than I found it, then I’ve done my job. – Bindi Irwin
Some people think that I would be afraid of them, but I’m never, ever afraid of an animal. I just get excited, and some that are dangerous, I think, ‘Ooh, what’s going to happen?’ and things like that. – Bindi Irwin
I’d just like to carry on in Dad’s footsteps. I think that Dad’s spirit and passion lives in every single one of us. – Bindi Irwin
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. – Bindi Irwin
Every day is a new journey for me, and I feel like, in my lifetime, I’ve been blessed to experience such a lot. – Bindi Irwin
We live in a zoo, and we get to share all our animals with the people who come in. We really put our animals first, and then the staff, and then the visitors. The animals aren’t pacing; they’re all happy. When you touch an animal, it ultimately touches you. – Bindi Irwin
Living in a zoo means it wasn’t always sparkly dresses, but I would still dress up. I had this pink sparkly dress and fairy wings, and I’d put those on and then go and dance in the zoo. – Bindi Irwin
