I started skydiving because I loved the idea of freedom.

To jump and break the sound barrier will not be a mere record breaking experience or another extreme event that ends once the mission is accomplished.

Extreme sport has only ever been about goals and the ways to achieve these goals. Adrenaline plays a part, but it's never in the foreground.

When I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble, you do not think about breaking records anymore, you do not think about gaining scientific data. The only thing you want is to come back alive

I base jumped off the Jesus statue in Rio de Janeiro.

I want to find a nice decent job as a helicopter pilot.

Never accept your limitations - because there are NO limitations.
