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

I'm not an adrenaline junkie. It's never been about thrills for me. I'm just someone who loves a challenge.

Engage your life with enthusiasm; grasp your life aggressively and squeeze from it every drop of excitement, satisfaction, and joy.

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

As a little kid, I climbed a lot of trees because I always loved the bird's-eye view.

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

Of course my life has changed because now everybody knows who Felix Baumgartner is.
