I'm now a member of a pretty small club.

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.

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

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

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

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

Normally, when I skydive, even in winter, I wear very thin gloves. I want to be flexible, with fast reactions.
