If you want to do something extraordinary, there's always risk involved. I was always willing to take that risk.

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

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.

If the Wright brothers hadn't put their lives on the line, we would not be flying around the world these days. So we need pioneers.

Sometimes you have to go up really high to see how small you are.
