One of the most exciting moments was standing out on top of the world, 30 seconds before stepping off.

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.

I can't bear the thought of my mother having to push me around in a wheelchair. I'd rather die quickly.

I feel comfortable with what I do and I guess that my girlfriend feels the same.

I would've never dreamt that my skydive would trigger such gushing enthusiasm. I still don't really understand exactly what I've accomplished, although I always suspected it would be a truly spectacular moment.

I'm 100 percent sure I'm becoming a really good helicopter pilot.

Learn to love what you've been taught to fear.
