I guess I'm a hopeful optimist, because to be a pessimist is to be suicidal.

I've never been hurt by a sea creature, except for jellyfish and sea urchins.

Sharks don't target human beings, and they certainly don't hold grudges.

If man doesn't learn to treat the oceans and the rain forest with respect, man will become extinct.

Without the oceans there would be no life on Earth.

I dive as much as I can.

It is not that I don't have a fear of sharks, it is that I have a respect for them, so that I know any more than if I were to go into the jungle, I would have a fear of tigers, that I would try to lower the odds.

There was a minor burst of macho nuttiness after 'Jaws' came out, in which people would go off in shark tournaments and come back holding the bloody heads of these animals and say, 'Look what I did.' But they've been doing that for hundreds of thousands of years anyway.

I'm a babe in the woods when it comes to the Internet.

Since writing JAWS, I've been lucky enough to do close to forty television shows about wildlife in the oceans, and yes, I have been attacked by sea creatures once in a while.
