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.

I'm retired from the daredevil business.

I want to inspire the next generation. I want to be in mission control with someone younger than me wanting to break my record.

Never accept your limitations - because there are NO limitations.

The stratosphere is a hostile place.

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

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