I don't like to rate myself; others can do that. I've spoken with a number of young people who weren't even born in 1969, when the first moon landing was made. They've witnessed the first person to fly at faster than speed of the sound without propulsion. These kids are happy to have had such a momentous event in their lifetime.

It feels great to be on top of the world but the greatest feeling is when your feet are on the ground.

Never accept your limitations - because there are NO limitations.

The only limit is the one you set yourself.

I love a challenge, and trying to become the first person to break the speed of sound in freefall is a challenge like no other.

I had to work with a psychiatrist.

I was crossing the English Channel with a carbon-fiber wing on my back.
