I'm more a competitive person.

I base jumped off one of the highest buildings in the world.

That spin became so violent, it was hard to know how to get out of it. I was able to get it under control and break the speed of sound...I could feel myself break the speed of sound. I could feel the air building up and then I hit it.

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.

I love a challenge, and trying to become the first person to break the speed of sound in freefall is a challenge like no other.

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

The stratosphere is a hostile place.
