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

If I do something, it's always 90% obvious and 10% unknown.

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

I'm more a competitive person.

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

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

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