To me, climbing is like eating or drinking. I have to do it; it's part of my life.

Authorities arrest me, release me, and then invite me back to host public events. I think it's interesting.

When I climb a building, I've been there already, and carefully planned how to start the climb as well as how to do it.

We set ourselves limits, but we are all strong enough to aim higher, to achieve our goals. All we have to do is find such strength within ourselves. Know how to develop it.

Sometimes doing the forbidden can be nice.

If you've climbed the first 140 meters it doesn't mean that you've succeeded; you are going to succeed by climbing the last 10 meters.

All these buildings are like mountains I would like to climb, but I am forbidden.
