Kids come up to me all the time and say, 'Once I was going through a really bad time, and I saw you crash and get up, and it inspired me.'

I've always lived by the creed that you're never a failure in life when you fall as long as you try and get up.

I created Evel Knievel, and then he sort of got away from me.

I always knew how to draw a crowd.

I went through life big-bang-banda-boom-bada-boom.

I think through education, belief in God, and good engineering, our children become a lot better at what they're doing than we did, and that starts with the very first sign of life on the face of this earth.

A man can fall many times in life, but he's never a failure until he refuses to get back up.
