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

You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.

My Daddy was my hero. He was always there for me when I needed him. He listened to me and taught me so many things. But most of all he was fun.

Everyone we love builds a home in our heart. And when they are gone we spend eternity staring at their empty seat.

I really think I like poisonous snakes.

I love them very much. All animals big and small. You can name an ant for instance.

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 don't want Daddy's passion to ever end. I want to help endangered wildlife just like he did.

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 love having my birthday at Australia Zoo.

Success comes from developing a strong inner character

Dreams must be chased, for if we wait for them to chase us we will live a life of waiting.

In writing these poems about relatives, I found it almost impossible to write about the mother. I was stuck. My feelings about my mother, you see, must be too complicated to easily flow into words.

Break my heart or break my fall.

When virtue has slept she will get up more refreshed.

Shakespeare wrote about love. I write about love. Shakespeare wrote about gang warfare, family feuds and revenge. I write about all the same things.

I've done my share of busking, and it's fun until it isn't. There are musicians in the subways that will make you cry, they're so good.

If you want to write something of length, however modern and radical, you must live the life of an elderly gentleman of the 1950s.

Boo-hoo. Help me, I'm a girl. What kind of modern woman are you? A smart one.

I danced for 15 years of my life. Which was my love and my passion.
