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

I make good money: One speech nets me more than what most people make in six months.

Life has to be dangerous.

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

I was not willing to give up because I was born to like taking risks and that is my way of life.

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.

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