My wife and I, we like to ride where there's not much traffic.

You come to a point in your life when you really don't care what people think about you, you just care what you think about yourself.

I thought I was bulletproof or Superman there for a while. I thought I'd never run out of nerve. Never.

I am a lucky, lucky person.

I always knew how to draw a crowd.

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

You can't ask a guy like me why [I performed]. I really wanted to fly through the air. I was a daredevil, a performer. I loved the thrill, the money, the whole macho thing. All those things made me Evel Knievel. Sure, I was scared. You gotta be an ass not to be scared. But I beat the hell out of death.
