Never accept your limitations - because there are NO limitations.

Well, I jumped for the first time when I was 16. I just loved it and immediately realized that it was what I wanted to do.

I'm not an adrenaline junkie. It's never been about thrills for me. I'm just someone who loves a challenge.

At a certain R.P.M., there's only one way for blood to leave your body, and that's through your eyeballs. That means you're dead.

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

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.

I don't like to rate myself; others can do that. I've spoken with a number of young people who weren't even born in 1969, when the first moon landing was made. They've witnessed the first person to fly at faster than speed of the sound without propulsion. These kids are happy to have had such a momentous event in their lifetime.
