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

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

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

Twenty-five years ago nobody knew much about white sharks.

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.

I don't believe in blaming inanimate objects for anything.

I believe implicitly that every young man in the world is fascinated with either sharks or dinosaurs.

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

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

Without the oceans there would be no life on Earth.

I dive as much as I can.

I read very widely, both non-fiction and fiction, so I don't think there's a single writer who influences me.

Reputations rise and fall almost as regularly as the tides.

Writing is sweat and drudgery most of the time. And you have to love it in order to endure the solitude and the discipline.

A human being is still more likely to die of a bee sting, snake bite or, Lord knows, automobile accident than by shark attack. We do not execute the perpretrators of death by car. We should not butcher an animal for an inadvertent homicide.

Almost any shark, three or four feet long, could kill a human being if it chose to do it. It could make you bleed to death. But they don't.

Fascinations breeds preparedness, and preparedness, survival.

I didn't invent the fear of sharks; it's as old as mankind, and that - to take that responsibility would mean that Mario Puzo should take the blame for the Mafia.

I don't think there's such a thing as an unprovoked shark attack.

I hope that 'Jaws' will have brought sharks into the public interest at a time when we desperately need to reevaluate our care for the environment.

If we choose to walk into a forest where a tiger lives, we are taking a chance. If we swim in a river where crocodiles live, we are taking a chance. If we visit the desert or climb a mountain or enter a swamp where snakes have managed to survive, we are taking a chance.

If you take away the predators in the prairies and the national parks, you suddenly have an explosion of elk, and then you have a lack of the food source for the elk, so they strip all the ground bare and that takes away the cover, on and on and on and on. The whole food chain is disrupted.

If you're young and wild, you tend to believe your clippings. One day you're Hemingway. The next day you're nothing.

In a deeply tribal sense, we love our monsters, and I think that is the key to it right there. It is monsters; it is learning about them: it is both thrill and safety. You can think of them without being desperately afraid because they are not going to come into your living room and eat you. That is 'Jaws.'

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.

We do not just fear our predators, we are transfixed by them. We are prone to weave stories and fables and chat endlessly about them.

We provoke a shark every time we enter the water where sharks happen to be, for we forget: The ocean is not our territory - it's theirs.

We should be afraid of sharks half as much as sharks should be afraid of us.

Without sharks, you take away the apex predator of the ocean, and you destroy the entire food chain.

Fascinations breeds preparedness and preparedness survival.

We provoke a shark every time we enter the water where sharks happen to be, for we forget: The ocean is not our territory it's theirs.

There's nothing in the sea this fish would fear. Other fish run from bigger things. That's their instinct. But this fish doesn't run from anything. He doesn't fear.

I love my DSL, but I love my WiFi more. And I probably get on the Internet 40 percent to 50 percent more because of the combination of those technologies.

I was stuck at home in bed with me and got more and more involved with the Internet. I used it to keep in contact with friends and to make sure I was up to date with everything that was going on in the world.

There's a statistical theory that if you gave a million monkeys typewriters and set them to work, they'd eventually come up with the complete works of Shakespeare. Thanks to the Internet, we now know this isn't true.

Five or ten years ago, when it was clear the Internet was becoming a mainstream phenomenon, it was equally clear that a lot of people were being left out and could be left behind.

I got sick and tired of my lady wearing ugly underwear to bed, so I turned to the Internet.

At the bottom, the elimination of spyware and the preservation of privacy for the consumer are critical goals if the Internet is to remain safe and reliable and credible.

In my column series "The Main Thing," I often talk about how Internet technology can improve the way people communicate - both within a business and between a business and its customers and partners.

The Internet is not just one thing, it's a collection of things - of numerous communications networks that all speak the same digital language.

I don't know much about the internet, I'm afraid.

Congress will pass a law restricting public comment on the Internet to individuals who have spent a minimum of one hour actually accomplishing a specific task while on line.

The new information technology... Internet and e-mail... have practically eliminated the physical costs of communications.

Those involved in the program are interested in how to use photography, videos, the Internet, film, and anything related to communications and transmission of information in the most up-to-date modern ways.

There are some scary statistics out there: one in five kids aged 10-17 have received a sexual solicitation or approach via the Internet.

When I get back from this book tour, I'm planning to learn the internet. Maybe I can hook up in cyberspace.

You can browse to your heart's content but it's hard work and not easy on the feet unless you do it through catalogs or the Internet, and I like to touch and try on the things I buy.

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

I read on the Internet that I was dead.
