Tea makes everything better.

Dad is and always will be my living, breathing superhero.
As I'm getting older, I'm really learning unconditional love and loyalty are extremely important.
I'm very lucky to have such a beautiful family.
It's every little girl's dream to have an exact look-alike doll. It's amazing.
To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.
I want my children and my grandchildren to live in a world with clean air, pure drinking water, and an abundance of wildlife, so I've chosen to dedicate my life to wildlife conservation so I can make the world just a little bit better.
I have friends who come to the Australia Zoo, and it's just, instead of playing video games, we get to hug and kiss a giraffe or walk a tiger.
So many people have touched my heart and made an impact on my world. I'm thankful for every lesson and learning experience.
Actually, I have this random fear, and it's of bees and wasps. Bees and wasps actually scare me just a little bit. I'd rather have a snake or a crocodile, yes... I appreciate them, and I love them, but I have a slight fear.
When you lose a loved one, you come to these crossroads. You can take the path that leads you down the aisle of sadness, or you can say, 'I'm never going to let this person's memory die. I'm going to make sure everything they worked for continues.'
It's human nature that if you get 20 positive comments and one negative one, you're going to focus on the negative. We all do that. It can be something that drags you down. It's easy to get bogged down with it, but I try to concentrate on the good things.
Dad was that one person who, no matter what he did in life, he just took it by storm, and he was so passionate and just really lived in the moment. Whatever the opposite of a procrastinator is, that was him... and I think I kind of inherited a little bit of that.
I think my blood is actually khaki. The khaki is a part of me. It's in my heart.
It's so easy to be there when it's all sunshine, but it really takes strength and courage to be there for each other during the dark times.
I have the most beautiful souls in my life supporting me and helping me to follow my dreams. I love them more than I can ever express in words.
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.
I think seizing the opportunity and making the most of your time is very important, and loving life.
I know that Daddy had an important job. He was working to change the world so everyone would love wildlife like he did. He built a hospital to help animals, and he bought lots of land to give animals a safe place to live.
I'll always feel most comfortable in khaki surrounded by animals, but it is really fun to try different styles.
I want to carry on in my dad's footsteps and make sure his message lives on forever. I feel like that's why I've been put on this planet - to get my message across.
Every time you lose an animal, it's like losing a brick from the house. Pretty soon the house just falls down, you know?
With fewer resources to share around more people, how can the poor have improved lifestyles?
My best friend was a magpie goose, and my magpie goose would follow me around, and we'd dance in the zoo together. Then I'd be covered in mud!
I'm so lucky because I get to have all of these memories. I can have all of those pictures and different sorts of films and stuff. Some people have only one photo, and I'm really glad that I have all of that.
When I was about 2 years old, I found a bee that had been stepped on on the foot path, and so I picked it up to rescue it, and it stung me on the hand. From that day forward, I've been terrified of bees.
I don't want to see crocs end up as boots, bags and belts. We're killing and consuming our wildlife icons.
I've been working a lot with Dick Smith on overpopulation.
In the morning, my alarm clock is a chorus of lemurs yelling!
There can be a lot of pressure on girls to dress the way they wouldn't normally dress: on social media, at school, among friends.
I want to encourage other young girls not to grow up too soon. Just enjoy the now.
I've been banking my holidays, which means I take time off later in the year. It makes it a lot easier to fit filming in; it can be quite challenging to study and film at the same time.
I think that people always say when people pass away that time heals all wounds. And that's probably the biggest lie. It's not true. I think we all need to remember that it is always still tough, and it's like losing a piece of your heart.
I am trying different styles, and while you can't climb a tree or jump on a crocodile in a dress, it is nice to get dressed up every now and then and kind of walk away from the khaki for a moment.
I like cups of tea and reading books and poetry and old people things.
Living in a zoo means it wasn't always sparkly dresses, but I would still dress up. I had this pink sparkly dress and fairy wings, and I'd put those on and then go and dance in the zoo.
The way I choose to dress, I want to influence other people around me, I suppose.
I'm thrilled to be partnered up with SeaWorld.
If I am able to pass on what I've learnt in my life, that's really wonderful, especially after losing Dad.
I guess, growing up at Australia Zoo and getting to travel all over the world, I have this great outlook on life, and that's what I hope I inspire other kids to have.
I love them very much. All animals big and small. You can name an ant for instance.
You can't jump on a croc or climb a tree if you're not in khaki, but I do like different clothes and playing around with it a bit.
When you lose someone whose life was so extraordinary like my dad's, you have two options: You can curl up in a dark corner... or rise above it and dust yourself off and continue with their work. He will always be with me.
It's so easy for 16-year-olds, including myself, to say, 'I just wish I were an adult.' But we can't wish our lives away. When we're adults, we'll say, 'I wish I were 16 again.'
If you treat animals how you want to be treated, you're a lot better off.
We literally live right in the middle of the zoo, and it means that every day is a new experience and so much fun.
The big things that I've learnt from my dad is that you can just say what you want to say.
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 have never joined the Facebook world because, to be truthful, social media scares me to death. It is kind of crazy how huge that world is, so I have never joined Facebook, but I do have Instagram and Twitter.
I had a brilliant time working with the entire cast and crew at 'Return To Nim's Island.' It's amazing how, after working on a film, you really become a family, and you build these really special bonds together.
