I enjoy every climb - maybe it's because it's a literal dance between life and death.

Life has to be dangerous.

We are living in a world where everything is based on security.

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.

Soloing is the most beautiful way of climbing; no material constrains, just you and the rock, the sun, nature; a kind of school for courage, willpower and self-confidence.

It's a great feeling to know that 100 cops want to stop you doing something and they can't.

Fortunately, the courts discharged me every time after they understood what I had done.
