I am used to wrangling crocodiles.

I've never turned into a bee - I've never been chased by a mummy or met a ghost. But many of the ideas in my books are suggested by real life.

The beet must be uprooted.

Working with crocodiles is always amazing because they're beautiful. They're modern day dinosaurs, which is really cool.

When I went to Amazonia, l went as the field doctor for biologists studying crocodile behavior. There's no way humans should have any encounters with crocodiles. You should stay away from them!

Crocodiles are really bold, and they do come up on land.

In Tarzan I only had to worry about the bees.

I had to weave and play around with a honey bear, you know, and I could wrestle with him a little bit, but there's no way you can even wrestle a honey bear, let alone a grizzly bear that's standing ten feet to eleven feet tall! Can you imagine? But it was fascinating to work that close to that kind of animal.

I wish being a beekeeper, which I am, gave you a free pass on the carbon footprint, but it doesn't.
