I'm thankful to have time to write.

I always say, 'I'm not a pirate, I just play one on TV.'

The seal hunt has made me ashamed to be a Canadian.

People feel good about giving money to Greenpeace.

My clients are the whales and the seals.

Russian subs are a bargain at $60,000. Unfortunately, none of the dials or instructions are in English.

The environmental movement doesn't have many deserters and has a high level of recruitment. Eventually, there will be open war.

I feel that people should have a license to have children, that they have proper education how to raise children. And that nobody should be allowed to be a parent unless they can prove that they are competent enough to be a parent.

Actually, I never really look at myself as a real radical activist; I am more the conservative. I mean, the conservatives are trying to conserve; the radicals are destroying the planet.

Usually, environmental programs are not designed for a mainstream audience.

Greenpeace is the world's largest feel-good organisation now, and I can say that 'cause I am one of their co-founders.

Documentaries make a difference.

I did not establish the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society as a protest organisation.

I have never suffered under any delusion that saving the whales in the Antarctic sanctuary would be easy, but the one thing I am certain of is that I and my passionate crew of international volunteers will never quit defending life in the seas from poachers, no matter what consequences we must endure to do so.

The tragedy is that there is so much more incentive - money - to destroy the ecology than there is to preserve it.

I don't eat fish because there is no such thing as sustainable fishing in the world right now.

I will not watch a whale die. I've not seen a whale die since I left Greenpeace in 1977.

I have been honoured to serve the whales, dolphins, seals - and all the other creatures on this Earth. Their beauty, intelligence, strength, and spirit have inspired me.

Social change comes through people.

Killing a baby seal is about the easiest thing you can do if you're inclined to be sadistic; you certainly can't say there's any sport in it - the animal is totally defenceless.

Does Greenpeace think it can stop whaling in Antarctica by publicly eating whale meat and declaring it delicious? What are these people thinking?

The biggest predator of fish like cod is other fish - and seals keep fish like that in check.

People are beginning to realize that we need to live in accordance with the law of ecology, the law of finite resources, and if we don't, we're going to go extinct.

I'm not really a fugitive.
