I feel at home up in the air, just like sailors do at sea and climbers do in the mountains.

I always feel the danger because you might always be subject to an unexpected or emergency event.

I know the whole world is watching now. And I wish the world could see what I can see. Sometimes you have to get up really high to understand how small you really are. I'm going home now.

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

To jump and break the sound barrier will not be a mere record breaking experience or another extreme event that ends once the mission is accomplished.

Well, to me, my past accomplishments weren't crazy. They required a lot of skill and careful planning.

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