I'm not a stunt man. I'm not a dare devil...I'm an explorer.

She (my ex-wife) wanted me to stop being Evel Knievel. I am who I am. I'm not going to change. I'll settle down the day they put me in a six-foot pine box.

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

I really think we should pass a law in every state, I don't care whether it takes the independence away from an old person or not. You shouldn't be driving a car if you're over the age of 80. Maybe even less than that.

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

People pay a million dollars to be recognized, but nobody cares about them. They cared about me because I did things other men were afraid to do. That's why my fans identified with me.

I love the feeling of the fresh air on my face and the wind blowing through my hair.
