This is not an unusual occurrence. We've had accidents in that area before. It does happen.

There's an intrinsic value. We don't want this particular species to become extinct. This is one more species unique to Florida that would be gone.

We were moving toward making it more of a recreational opportunity than a commercial one. Now there really aren't any shortages of alligators -- we're well past the endangered species time, so we're ready to expand.

They used my living room, my son's room, the garage and the filming sometimes lasted until 2 am. They turned my house into a Christmas wonderland. My kids, Corey and Ryan, loved it. The people were wonderful.

You know, there's so many accidents where drivers fall asleep and crash. I sure don't want that to happen. I have a great family at home.

We didn't get any major accidents that backed up traffic for miles or anything like that. We couldn't have scripted it better.
