TERRI IRWIN

No matter how many shows or how much work we do, we are not going to make a difference. It's only the masses that will make a difference.

Steve had a broad, easy smile and the biggest hands I had ever seen. I could tell by his stature and stride that he was accustomed to hard work.

Steve had a real sixth sense about so many things. He had an odd connection with wildlife. He was extraordinarily intuitive with people. I found it all very - I don't know if 'eerie' is the word, but remarkable, certainly.

Parenthood is a great equalizer. It doesn't matter how famous you are - once you become a parent, you are just like everyone else.

I found that Steve's passion for wildlife and willingness to lay his life on the line so exciting.

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.

My future is about the joy of loving those around me, of being with the people who are still here and not just mourning my loss.

To me, Steve was my Prince Charming. He was my happily ever after, and we got that. We got 14 years of marriage; we had the best, most fantastic, adventurous, wonderful life that you could imagine. And I was very happy with that.

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

I'm Mrs. Steve Irwin. I've got a lot to live up to.

If you can reach out and touch and love and be with wildlife, you will forever be changed, and you will want to make the world a better place.

I discovered on my own that I could cope better with the crippling effects of grief by taking care of myself, eating right, and working out.

I have tremendous faith in God that all things happen for a reason, even if we don't understand.

I have two beautiful children. And they really are my strength.

I live in Australia Zoo. I have a very private home. We've got three bedrooms, one bathroom... The carpets are rose-coloured, which grossed Steve out, but I love it. He let me do everything the way I wanted. The house is just warm and cozy and small.

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.

Steve always said that he didn't care if anyone remembered him, as long as they remembered his message.

I think, some days, you wonder how you're going to get through, and other days, you find reason to be inspired again.

After losing Steve, it does kind of feel like I'm free-falling.

For me, it was two years before I fed a big croc when I came to Australia.

There never has been before and never will be again another Steve Irwin.

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.

She's born and raised with wildlife, living with a zoo. What would be strange for Bindi is if she were in an apartment in suburbia with a goldfish.

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.

When we lost Steve, the grief was understandable, but I wasn't prepared for how scary everything became - that fear factor of 'Now I'm doing this on my own.'
