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.

I'm retired from the daredevil business.

I started skydiving because I loved the idea of freedom.

Of course my life has changed because now everybody knows who Felix Baumgartner is.

I can't bear the thought of my mother having to push me around in a wheelchair. I'd rather die quickly.

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

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