I had to work with a psychiatrist.

I always had the dream of flying, and the cheapest way is to become a skydiver.

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.

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

When I was standing there on top of the world, you become so humble, you do not think about breaking records anymore, you do not think about gaining scientific data. The only thing you want is to come back alive

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

Aviation - and space travel, in particular - have always been especially captivating.
