Michael Muller Quotes

I filmed underwater for two days in the open ocean with dolphins.

When I was little I had this notion of being a marine biologist. I grew up by the ocean so I was always in the water but realistically, I don't think I would make the best marine biologist.

I wanted to be a marine biologist my whole life until I graduated high school.

I have photographed sharks in waters around the globe, and I always want more and yearn to peer deeper into their world. To feed my passion and to raise awareness, I developed a story about sharks for 'National Geographic' magazine.

Most whale photos you see show whales in this beautiful blue water - it's almost like space.

I wanted to be a marine biologist when I was growing up and always wanted to be surrounded by wildlife.

I studied marine biology, even taught marine science before I got into animation, so I had an interest in that field and those animals.

When I was younger, I wanted to be a marine biologist, among other things.

I am an ocean lover and fish watcher and had studied marine biology and even taught marine sciences before I got into animation.

I have been blessed to realize my dream of becoming an underwater photojournalist, but with that, I feel an obligation and sense of urgency to share what I have seen with others.

I like underwater life.

It was great. I mean, it's a blast directing underwater stuff.

If you're going to make a lot of films about a particular group of animals, you might as well pick one that's fairly common. And octopus are: they live in all the oceans. They also live deep. And I can't say octopus are responsible for my really strong interest in getting in subs and going deep, but whatever the case, I like that.

It was really cool going to Sea World. We had an amazing time. They were amazing to us. We got to swim with the dolphins, and it was really special.

A marine ecologist is a scientist who studies the many species that live underwater and how they interact with each other and with humans.

I've been diving for about 30 years, and I can honestly say that I've had some amazing encounters with sharks, squids, and other whales. But the encounter with the right whales in the Auckland Islands was probably the best thing I've ever done. It was just that amazing.

I love storytelling, I love being a visual person, and it just made perfect sense to be an underwater photographer and explore the ocean and work with scientists.

I can't think of anything I regret. Everything I've done, I've enjoyed doing. I've had five husbands, four children. I've done it all, but mainly I've enjoyed studying fish and being underwater with them, being in their natural habitat, looking at the fish and the fish looking at me.

I wanted to be a marine biologist my whole life until I graduated high school. And even now, I'm still like, 'Maybe I'll just quit the biz and go to Santa Cruz and study marine biology and have my own research center in the Bahamas.' Yeah, I'm sure it would be just that smooth.

I think the concept of the sea is very important.

If I could have been a marine biologist I would have, but I didn't have that kind of intelligence. Numbers were never my strong point.

I was thinking recently, I've always loved the ocean. If I could do it all again, I might do an oceanography degree. You can do ocean archaeology, and I thought that might be fascinating to do - man-made structures, where the sea has risen above the structures.

I just kind of figured that the marine biology would be a career, and the art would be something I did for my own self-expression.

Everybody's got some fascination with undersea life, don't you think?

I really have a passion for the sea, so I think it's important that whatever I do, I want to be near the sea.
