The only thing you want is to come back alive.

I base jumped off one of the highest buildings in the world.

I once wanted to be a stuntman. I was constantly on the front pages when I was a base jumper. But if I were a stuntman, my name would only appear right at the end of the closing credits, even though I'd risked my life for others.

Well, I jumped for the first time when I was 16. I just loved it and immediately realized that it was what I wanted to do.

I feel at home up in the air, just like sailors do at sea and climbers do in the mountains.

You have seen on TV how hard it is to go up 129,000 feet and how hard it is to come down.

Don't live life as a spectator.
